Trekking, Hiking and Camping
NEW! It's been a long time coming but there is finally an official online reservation form for Corcovado National Park! There are a total of six Stations for Corcovado. Three of the five ranger stations in the park have camping areas, potable water, and radio or telephone contact with the outside world. There is also sometimes space under a roof for your sleeping bag (reservation required, see above/below). If you make advance arrangements and bring groceries, the rangers will also cook it for you for a nominal fee.
The Osa conservation area administrative headquarters just east of Puerto Jiménez next to the landing strip. (Monday to Friday 7:30 a.m. to noon, and 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.). You can register and make reservations for camping, bunkhouses, and cooking here (phone 735-5036 -or- 735-5580, fax 735-5276).  The main adminstrative station in Puerto Jiménez is where you make reservations for camping and the bunkhouses in Corcovado Park. Take a good look a the map because it's probably the most detailed one you'll see and they won't let you take it. (Contributed by Tom Hall © 2005)
