Search-and-rescue teams from the Costa Rican Red Cross continued their efforts Monday to locate a missing U.S. hiker, believed to have disappeared in the rugged Corcovado National Park in the country's southwestern Osa Peninsula.
A U.S. man has been missing inside Corcovado National Park in the country's southwestern Osa Peninsula for more than two weeks, Red Cross officials confirmed to The Tico Times on Thursday.
Said to hold 4 percent of the world's biodiversity, the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica's southwest is known as a hotspot for animal encounters. But this week area residents spotted an animal they had never seen before: a sea lion.
The National System of Conservation Areas on April 30 published an updated list of entrance fees to the country’s protected areas. A decree authorizing new fees will take effect on Aug. 1.
An already pricey visit to Corcovado National Park on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula just got more expensive. Costa Rica's National System of Conservation Areas announced in January that starting today visitors to the country's most biodiverse national park must be accompanied by a certified guide.
A man who went missing more than a week ago while illegally mining gold inside the boundaries of the Osa Peninsula's Corcovado National Park was rescued this week by officials from Costa Rica’s National System of Conservation Areas.
