Positioned about 340 miles (550 kilometers) south of Puntarenas, Cocos Island is an oasis in the eastern Pacific Ocean. A protected national park and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Cocos Island is best known for its extraordinary biodiversity. In addition to teeming populations of sharks, rays, and fish, four species of sea turtles have been recorded inside the park’s marine boundaries.
