Cocos Island National Park is located 550 km off the Pacific coast of Costa Rica and is the only island in the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean with tropical rainforests. Cocos Island is the first point of contact with the North Equatorial Countercurrent and there are countless interactions with the surrounding marine ecosystems, making the area an ideal laboratory for studying biological processes. The underwater world of the national park is famous for its attraction to divers, who rate it as one of the best places in the world to see large pelagic species such as sharks, rays, tuna and dolphins.
