Iconic Species in the Parks

Jaguar (Panthera onca): the largest feline in the Americas, extremely rare to spot but thrilling just to know it roams the forests of Corcovado and Tortuguero.
Puma (Puma concolor): elegant and elusive, it also lives in protected areas, far from inhabited zones, where it helps maintain the ecosystem’s balance.
