This tour is designed to visit the Corcovado National Park, from Puerto Jimenez, entering the Sirena Sector on foot through Carate and La Leona station, spending a night in the park facilities and leaving from Sirena beach by boat to Drake.
It is important to mention that to carry out this modality you will have to check availability.
The time at the meeting point in Puerto Jimenez is 05:15 a.m. and there will be 15 minutes to buy food for the first day’s tour.
The journey lasts about 90 minutes, and upon reaching Carate we will begin a one-hour walk until we reach the Leona station, where visitors will be registered, and we will load water for the rest of the journey, which will last about 7- 9 hours. On this path, at times, we will enter the jungle, at times we will go along the beach and we will have to cross several rivers along their banks; quite an adventure.
Upon arriving at the Sirena station, we will have a well-deserved rest until 6:00 p.m., when dinner will be served. We will spend the night at the Sirena station facilities.
On the second day, we will walk the trails around the station with breakfast in between. At 12:30 a.m. a boat will be waiting for us on the beach to take us back to Drake.
