Local tips
- Book tours and accommodations in advance, especially during peak season (December-April and July-August), as Corcovado National Park limits the number of visitors per day.
- Bring appropriate footwear for hiking, as trails can be muddy and slippery, and you may need to cross streams.
- Pack essentials such as sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, and plenty of water to stay comfortable during your visit.
- Hire a licensed guide to enhance your wildlife spotting opportunities and learn about the park's ecosystem.
- Be prepared for a 'wet landing' when arriving by boat, meaning you'll need to wade through shallow water to reach the shore.
