L'île Cocos est une île appartenant à la république du Costa Rica. Elle est classée au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco depuis 1997. Située à 482,7 kilomètres au Sud-Ouest de celle-ci, elle est rattachée à la province de Puntarenas. Elle était connue pour accueillir les pirates qui y cachaient les trésors pillés aux Espagnols. C'est pourquoi elle est surnommée aujourd'hui l'île au trésor. C'est la seule île du Pacifique tropical oriental possédant une forêt tropicale humide. De nos jours, l'île est connue essentiellement pour sa faune et sa flore sous-marine qui sont exceptionnelles, ainsi que pour sa forêt tropicale humide. Depuis 1997, elle fait partie du Patrimoine mondial de l'humanité. http://cocos-island.org Autor: Peter Disch-Lauxmann
