Corcovado National Park Costa Rica

Welcome to the best source of accurate information on Corcovado National Park, in the remote South west corner of Costa Rica, in Central America. This blog was started as there is so much inaccurate and outdated information - little of which is available in english.
If you speak spanish, a good source of information is http://pncorcovado.blogspot.com/. This is updated quite frequently and is run by some of the staff at The National Park office in Puerto Jimenez, Punta Arenas. Bear in mind that this is an official source and is great for an introduction to the Corcovado area and for booking permits/accommodation. However it only gives half the story!!
Check out my videos on Youtube at http://www.youtube.com/corcovadopn for a feel of what an experience your visit could be like. Also see a selection of some of the digital photos I took when visiting Corcovado National Park, on the right side of the screen. Contact me for more information on costs/renting these images. None of these videos or photos can be used or reproduced or sold, in any way or form, without prior approval.
As far as guidebooks on the area, my advice would be do not bother with any of them! Just read the few pages on Corcovado before you go, then arrange your accommodation, and leave your guidebook behind! Also make sure you visit The National Park office by the Airstrip, in Puerto Jimenez, before you leave on any trip. They have quite good photocopies of maps available, along with other information. Their email is pncorcovado@gmail.com . Please note most staff only speak spanish, so if you send an email, try not to write in english unless you have to!

Please note I am in no way connected with The Corcovado National Park Service nor am I connected with http://pncorcovado.blogspot.com/ . I aim to give concise information, in English, from a tourist's perspective.
