In the heart of a lush and ancient forest, a man embarked on a remarkable adventure that most can only dream of – exploring the hidden wonders concealed within the towering embrace of a 1,000-year-old giant tree.

While the explorer did not confirm the location, many believe this is Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica.

Why is the tree hollow?

The hollowing of tree trunks in ancient trees is often a result of natural processes and environmental factors. Here are some common reasons why trees may develop hollow trunks:

1. Decay and Rot: Over time, the heartwood of a tree can decay due to fungi, bacteria, or other microorganisms. This process creates voids or hollow spaces within the trunk.

2. Insect Infestations: Certain insects, like wood-boring beetles, can burrow into a tree's wood, creating tunnels and hollowing out the trunk.

3. Physical Damage: External factors such as lightning strikes, storm damage, or wounds from animals can initiate decay and contribute to the formation of hollow spaces.

4. Natural Aging: As trees age, they may naturally shed inner layers of wood, creating hollows. This is a normal part of the aging process for some tree species.

5. Species Characteristics: Some tree species are more prone to developing hollow trunks than others.
