I do not know if I have ever sweated that much as during my stay on the Osa peninsula, espially during my two-day hiking trek in the Parque Nacional Corcovado. After having hiked half way on the second day, my (fast-drying) hiking shirt was drenched in sweat – and stinking as hell!

Still, the national park was worth a visit, even though I have not seen as much wildlife as expected (and not a single tapir!).

Still, I cannot complain: While hiking, we saw lots of monkeys (four different species), macaws, and lizards; once we also spotted a family of coatis.
