Country: Costa Rica
Duration:
2 days
Description
Spend 2 days in Corcovado: take a boat to Sirena, explore its trails, and spend the night at the station. The next day, enjoy a trekking adventure to La Leona.
Enjoy an authentic 2-day, 1-night adventure in Corcovado National Park, arriving by boat at Sirena Station and leaving the next day on foot through the La Leona sector.
On the first day, you'll depart early from Puerto Jiménez by boat to Sirena, located in the heart of Corcovado. After disembarking, you'll start exploring the Sirena trails accompanied by a certified guide, walking through the rainforest and looking for the wildlife that naturally inhabits this area. Depending on the conditions, it is possible to see monkeys, macaws, toucans, tapirs, peccaries, and many other species, although sightings can never be guaranteed.
You'll spend the night at Sirena Station, rustic accommodation inside the park. Meals during the stay are arranged as part of the sightseeing tour.
Day two starts early and continues with one of Corcovado's most comprehensive trekking experiences: the journey from Sirena to La Leona. You'll hike approximately 18–20 km for about 6–8 hours, following a combination of rainforest trails and stretches along the coast of Corcovado.
This hike requires a good level of fitness. The terrain may include roots, mud, sand, uneven areas, small water crossings, and long stretches exposed to tropical heat and humidity. It is not a technical rock climbing route, but it is physically demanding due to the distance, the weather, and the natural conditions of the trail. The pace and route can be adjusted depending on the tides, weather, and park conditions.
Upon arrival at the La Leona sector, you'll continue to Carate, where ground transportation will take you back to Puerto Jiménez.
Due to Corcovado National Park regulations, it is generally not allowed to bring personal food into the park. The meals needed for this sightseeing tour are arranged in advance. Exceptions may only be made in special situations, such as authorized medical or dietary needs, and must be communicated in advance.
This sightseeing tour is ideal for active travelers who want to combine wildlife watching, a night inside Corcovado, and a challenging hike through one of the most stunning coastal and jungle landscapes on the Osa Peninsula.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Booking through GYG does not mean that entry slots for Corcovado National Park are automatically confirmed.
Once our team receives your booking, we proceed to request the spots directly from Corcovado. Daily capacity is limited, and we currently do not have an online system that allows us to see in real time how many spots are still available for each date.
For this reason, the reservation is subject to the availability of park entry. If there are no spots available at the time of your request, we will contact you as soon as possible to offer you the option of changing the date or considering another sightseeing tour.
We recommend booking well in advance, especially for trips between December and April, as this is peak season and spots tend to fill up faster.
