Baird's Tapir in Costa Rica
Tapirus bairdii
The most reliable place to see the baird's tapir in Costa Rica is the Sirena sector of Corcovado National Park, on the Osa Peninsula, best Year-round. Corcovado pairs high tapir density with animals that tolerate people around Sirena, where they sometimes rest in daylight near the trails — so a guide who knows the current wallows matters more than luck.
