This tour is designed to visit the Corcovado National Park, from Puerto Jimenez, arriving at the Sirena Sector on foot from Carate, spending two nights in the park facilities, and returning to Drake Bay by boat.
The road from La Leona station to Sirena will go into the jungle, crossing rivers and at times coming out to the beach. The tour will take about 7-9 hours depending on the pace and the water level of the rivers, which must be crossed by water since there are no bridges.
We will spend the night at the Sirena station facilities.
The second day will begin before dawn to see the jungle animals awaken and we will explore numerous trails in the Corcovado National Park. At the end of the day we will have dinner and we will be able to listen to the sounds of the night in a tropical jungle before going to sleep.
On the third day we will have time to continue exploring new trails, or explore the endless beaches where we can see new species. About half a day a boat will be waiting for us to begin the journey to Drake. On this tour that lasts about an hour and a half and, if we are lucky, we will see some marine mammals, especially between the months of August and September.
