See other Two Days Corcovado Tours!
Corcovado National Park is the best place for wildlife lovers, photographers and adventure seekers. The top position in multiple national park rankings is taken due to extraordinary concentration of animals, insects and plants in the park. By some estimations, there are more than 2,000 endangered species of flora and fauna, that is hard to find anywhere else in the world. Some of the most recognized species are scarlet macaw, tapir, spider monkey and eagles. Our local experienced tour guide will help you to find out the secrets of the rainforest and its inhabitants. Most guides are called general guides, which means the have general knowledge of everything in Corcovado National Park and the Osa Peninsula, but depending on your interest, some of them have specializations or particular interest in something specific. There are guides who specializes in flora, fauna, bird watching, history, photography and adventures. All of them have great optical equipment and several hours of experience in the field.
Costa Wild Hike is an enhanced version of One Day Tour in La Leona. Instead of going back at the first day, the tour takes you up to Sirena Ranger station. The overnight stay includes dinner and breakfast, a lodging in the station and a wild hike along the Pacific Coast of the Osa Peninsula. Both days, you will hike 19.5 kilometers, and if you still have energy your guide will bring you in the trails around Sirena Ranger Station to explore even deeper the National Park. The tour brings you back using the same trail from Sirena to Carate the second day. Chances to see a particular specie during that tour is a lot higher than taking a single day in La Leona. Based on your physical condition, the size of your group, the tide (as river mouths will be crossed) and your interest of seeing particular animal species, the duration of the hike is variable.
Rainforest Experience itinerary is the safe option to take if you are not convinced to walk 20 kilometers in a single day. Starting from Drake Bay, save energy taking a 75-minute boat ride that brings you directly to Sirena. As all trails are mostly flats and surrounding the station, you will be able to rest after each hike. This is the best option for families with children, elderly and every animal lovers visiting Drake Bay area. In two days, all main trails in Sirena Ranger Station can be explored according to your walking speed and interests. The chances to see a tapir are the highest amongst other 2-day itineraries. The Sirena Ranger Station offers comfortable stay and healthy fulfilling meals, no need to bring snacks, only a couple of water bottles to refill as needed.
Osa Full Circle is an opportunity to have a glance on all activities in Corcovado Park. The full circle around the park involves boat ride, lots of wildlife seeking and a 4×4 car ride. Starting either from Drake Bay or Puerto Jiménez you will end up at the complete opposite of the peninsula. Transportation is included back to your original destination, but if you prefer to continue your trip where you end up, we can transfer your luggage to the final destination. You might see dolphins, tapirs, scarlet macaws, a variety of mammals and multitude birds.
Heart of Corcovado is more a challenge rather than a normal hiking tour in a national park. The adventurous trek to Los Patos is arduous and recommended for people in an exceptionally good physical condition with previous trekking experience.Between Sirena and Los Patos, the hike is 25 km going up and down passing through the center of Corcovado wild primary rain forest. Depending on the weather, once arriving at Los Patos Station, the water level of the river might be too high for the driver to pick you up directly at the station due to hard remote access. You might have to walk an additional hour and cross the river several times until reaching the road. If not possible to cross the river by foot, a 2-hour hike to the hidden gem Ecoturistico La Tarde will bring you out of the forest. Endemic birds, reptiles and amphibians are to be seen in addition to the unique flora.
