Costa Rica is home to many remarkable national parks, but none is quite like Corcovado National Park.
Located on the remote Osa Peninsula, this extraordinary protected area preserves one of the largest remaining stretches of Pacific tropical rainforest in Central America and is recognized for its exceptional biodiversity.
For guests staying at Oxygen Jungle Villas & Spa, Corcovado is one of the most rewarding full-day adventures available during their stay.

The park protects an incredible variety of ecosystems including:
- Primary rainforest
- Rivers
- Mangroves

These habitats support hundreds of species that are rarely seen together anywhere else.

How Tours Typically Operate
Many excursions begin early in the morning.
Depending on the itinerary and operating conditions, guests travel toward the Osa Peninsula before entering the park with certified guides.
Transportation may include scenic boat transfers, allowing visitors to appreciate the dramatic coastline before arriving at Corcovado.
Because access is regulated by Costa Rica’s National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC), guided tours are required for most visitors.
