This tour is designed to visit the Corcovado National Park, from Drake Bay, arriving at the Sirena Sector by boat, and spending a night in the park facilities. The departure to Puerto Jimenez will be on foot via Carate, where a vehicle will take us to Puerto Jimenez.
On the trip to Sirena by sea, if we are lucky, we will be able to observe marine mammals.
During the first day we will walk the park’s trails, where we will have sections of jungle, rivers, and some stretches of beach, and where we will be able to see numerous species of flora and wild fauna.
The station has toilets, a dining room, and a sleeping area equipped with bunk beds/cabines.
The return will take us to Carate on foot, passing through the Leona station. This path will go into the jungle, at times it will come out to the beach, and we will have to cross rivers along the channel, so we will be able to observe numerous species and landscapes on our journey; It’s quite an adventure.
