We decided to make the top 3 best tips to visit Corcovado.
If you are here, it is because you already know that Corcovado is the best place in all Tropical Americas to see wildlife and live an adventure,
Let’s get to it.
TIP #1
Decide the Corcovado experience that best fits your expectations.
Not all experiences in Corcovado are for everyone, and the easiest thing to do is to standardize it to the simplest experience and offer it to everyone equally. However, not everyone is looking for the same thing.
For example, a photographer goes well with tourists who are looking to learn about the forest and see as many animals as possible.
In both cases: to observe many animals and, to take pictures of them; you have to be very patient and walk short distances in places where there are more chances to see animals.
However, for many tourists, walking and listening to a guide explaining about the forest, waiting by a river and going slowly is not the kind of experience they are looking for.
Instead, hiking, exploring rivers, waterfalls and pristine beaches is more exciting.
Combining adventurers looking to hike, explore and be out of the comfort zone with families, photographers or people who want to learn about the forest is a martyrdom; for the guide, the patient tourists and the adventurers.
And it does not create a pleasant situation for anyone.
So make sure to choose a company that understands both adventure and wildlife, so they can put you in the most suitable group based on your expectations.
