Marine life is just as rich. Sea turtles nest on some of the beaches, and sperm whales have been spotted offshore. There are also 40 species of fresh water fish in the many rivers that bathe the area. They each have a station where park rangers live and provide visitors with handy, and some times life-saving information. In the surrounding areas to each entrance you will find some other options for lodging.
Camping is also available.
As many ecological projects of Costa Rica, Corcovado National Park has become a laboratory where social and environmental paradigms are being studied and developed into new alternatives. Stations usually turn into the meeting spot for scientific researchers and biologists, as well as nature lovers and curious tourists. Casual conversations will provide you with amazing first hand information about rare animals or specific habitats.
