The Beach


The length, the beauty, the serenity, the pristine sand, the greenery, the character, the precise way of life, the happy/healthy/the truly wild wildlife -all things that describe this beach and what every beach in this country should look like and would look like had hotels, restaurants and human waste not replaced the trees and more than half of the sand as if we own such beauty, as if we know what beauty is. Corcovado knows no hotels, hostels, or bars. The biggest altered piece of land is the small airstrip that is maybe 500 or 600 meters long. Yes, there are a few of them, but I welcome the facilitation of educating people rich enough to come to paradise via small plane just for the day Jurassic Park style! Visiting untouched wilderness has a much more effective and memorable impact than reading a conservation pamphlet or seeing an advertisement on the TV. Corcovado is one of the best managed national parks I have ever been to.
