If you're staying in Manuel Antonio or any points further south down the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, then a Corcovado day trip should be a must-do on your itinerary. However, you don't need to be staying on the Osa Peninsula to appreciate one of the true natural wonders of the planet.&nbsp;If the season is right, you might see pods of dolphins playing, sea turtles, or even whales on the boat ride to Corcovado.&nbsp;&nbsp;Once at the park, you'll take two separate hikes: a two-hour to the two-and-a-half-hour trail and one lasting about one-and-half hours—plan for around four hours of hiking.&nbsp;The first hike focuses on wildlife. Your expert naturalist guide will help you spot animals in the distance that are not easy for the untrained eye, with opportunities to see howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, raccoons, kingfishers, and more.&nbsp;Then it's time for a picnic lunch before getting started with the next hike, which takes you to a waterfall. You'll hike along a river where you can see water birds and reptiles. When you arrive at the waterfall, you can freshen up by taking a tip before heading back to your boat to exit the park and head home.<h2>FAQ:</h2><ol><li>How do I get from Uvita to Corcovado?

What a seamless experience! I've never used a travel agency to plan my whole vacation, so this was a joy. It was so nice not to worry about any of the arrangements. All of the tours that Daniel chose for us were perfect.&nbsp;
