Introduction to Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary

Tucked away in the southernmost corner of Goa, the Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary is a hidden gem that whispers secrets of the wild to those who venture into its lush, undulating terrain. Spanning 85.65 km², this sanctuary is a tapestry of moist deciduous, semi-evergreen, and evergreen forests, where tall trees form a canopy so dense that sunlight barely kisses the forest floor. Here, the air is alive with the chirping of birds, the rustle of leaves, and the occasional glimpse of a black leopard or a sloth bear. With its butterfly park, ancient banyan trees, and picturesque Bela lake, Cotigao is a paradise for nature enthusiasts, offering trails that wind through farms and jungles, and watchtowers that elevate you into the heart of this vibrant ecosystem. It's a place where time slows down, and the beauty of nature takes center stage.
