Corcovado National Park

Tags rainforests, beaches, oceans, national parks and reserves, wetlands

Corcovado National Park is one of the few places in the world that truly merits the phrase teeming with wildlife. National geographic named it "the most biologically intense place on Earth" with good reason. Its proximity to the equator, and the fact that it makes up part of an isthmus that connects North and South America, create ideal circumstances for over 13 types of forest to thrive -- along with the dizzying array of wildlife inhabiting them.
