Lions, tigers, and bears... Hell yeah!!

Corcovado.

One of the most difficult places to get to in all of Costa Rica. A piece of land that houses the most biodiversity than all of Costa Rica combined as well as one of the most impressive in the world. It is basically Costa Rica's Amazon. From San Jose it would take me at least 10hrs of bus rides, figure out how to cross the Drake Bay, hop aboard a Jeep, and depending on where I would get dropped off I would have to hike anywhere from 4 hrs to 2 days. It is the only piece of land in Costa Rica where tigers exist and contains the most venomous snakes (most will release enough poison to kill a person within less than 4 hours and with the nearest hospital located 6 hours away it isn't hard to infer that your chances of survival if bitten are less than good). There are piranhas, killer bees, African ants, and wild boars as well. This place is survival of the fittest and bravest. Every Tico I have talked to has told me not to travel here alone, and I never thought that I would until I was reading an article about how an American backpacker got lost in Corcovado for 2 days and came across and indigenous tribe!! Half dehydrated and about to give up hope he came across the only indigenous tribe in all of Costa Rica. I haven't made up my mind yet about whether or not to attempt the unthinkable, but lately the unthinkable is the only thing I've able to think about.

Corcovado here I come!
