Green Iguana
What: Corcovado National Park is widely considered to be the crème de la crème of the Costa Rican rain forest because of its unusual variety of flora and fauna. The park sustains a rare large area of lowland tropical rain forest -- meaning its original biodiversity is still intact. Visitors can see everything from jaguars (quickly becoming sparse in Central America) to sloths and bull sharks in Corcovado's 263 square miles.
Where: Corcovado National Park is on the Oso Peninsula in southwest Costa Rica.
How To Get There: The largest town near Corcovado is Puerto Jimenez. It's an eight-hour drive from San José city, or a one hour direct flight from San Jose (Juan Santamaría) International Airport. Air travel is recommended, since road conditions can vary drastically throughout Costa Rica.
When: The dry season runs from December through April. The best months to visit during the wet season (also called the "green season") are May, June, November, and early December.
Price: Stay at Lapa Rios, an upscale eco-lodge overlooking acres of preserved rain forest. Private bungalows are available for $360 (single occupancy) or $250 (double occupancy) during the green season.
