Wild Corcovado: 2 Days Filming Costa Rica's Rarest Wildlife (Tapir, Whales, Monkeys) Part 1

🌿 Join me in Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica – one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. In this 2‑day jungle adventure I filmed tapirs, humpback whales, sloths, spider monkeys, anteaters and much more. This is Part 1 of my wildest wildlife experience. 🎥

📍 ABOUT CORCOVADO
Corcovado National Park on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula protects an incredible amount of life in a relatively small area. It is home to all four of Costa Rica’s monkey species, endangered Baird’s tapirs, jaguars, scarlet macaws and hundreds of tree species. National Geographic famously called it “the most biologically intense place on Earth.”

🎬 WHAT YOU’LL SEE
– Humpback whale and calf alongside our boat
– Sirena Ranger Station and the first jungle hikes
– Northern tamandua (arboreal anteater)
– Three‑toed sloth high in the canopy
– Deer and spider monkeys, real jungle acrobatics
– Golden orb‑weaver spider webs
– Caiman vs bare‑throated tiger heron standoff
– Abandoned plane wreck reclaimed by the forest
– Empty Pacific beach and plastic pollution reality check
– Teaser for Part 2

🦥 KEY SPECIES
Humpback whale - Northern tamandua - Three‑toed sloth - Blue‑crowned motmot - Great curassow - Red brocket deer - Geoffroy’s spider monkey - Spectacled caiman - Bare‑throated tiger heron - Black‑throated trogon - Golden silk orb‑weaver - Baird’s tapir (endangered)

🌊 THE EXPERIENCE
The day starts at 4:15 in the morning with breakfast at an eco‑lodge, followed by a boat ride to Sirena Ranger Station. A mother humpback whale and her calf greet us on the way. With experienced local guides we hike through primary rainforest where almost every turn reveals new wildlife and new stories.

🌱 CONSERVATION
Corcovado has strict rules to protect wildlife, including strong limits on single‑use plastics, yet plastic pollution still washes onto these remote beaches from outside. This park shows how nature can thrive when we protect it – and why global action is still needed.

🎥 FILMMAKING
Shot in 4K on Sony A7R V. All footage is captured ethically with licensed naturalist guides and safe distances from wildlife.
