 Cotigoa Wildlife Sanctuary
: -
Location : 1-km Southeast Of
Chaudi, Canacona District, South Goa.
Coverage Area : 86 Sq.Kms.
Main Attractions : Gazelles, Sloth Bears, Porcupines, Panthers &
Hyenas.
Best Time To Visit : October and March
The Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary, 10-km southeast of Chaudi, was established
in 1969 to protect a remote and vulnerable area of forest lining the Goa-
Karnataka border. Encompassing 86-sq-kms of mixed deciduous woodland,
Cotigao is a peaceful and scenic park that makes a pleasant day trip from
Palolem, 12-km northwest. The wardens at the reserve's small
Interpretative Centre will show one how to get to a 25m-high treetop
watchtower, overlooking a waterhole that attracts a handful of animals
around dawn and dusk.
Flora and Fauna :
The reserve is certain to inspire tree lovers, but less likely to yield
many wildlife sightings: its Tigers and Leopards were hunted out long ago,
while the Gazelles, Sloth Bears, Porcupines, Panthers and Hyenas that
allegedly lurk in the woods rarely appear. Visitors however, stand a good
chance of spotting at least two species of Monkey, a couple of Wild Boar
and the Odd Gaur.
