Corcovado National Park

A tour of the unique rain forest area of Corcovado de Osa

National Geographic has dubbed it the most biologically intense place on Earth, and it is estimated that no other place in the world (of similar size) hosts greater biological diversity.

Corcovado National Park & Térraba-Sierpe Mangroves Tour

The Mangrove is home to nearly 100 species of birds and an abundance of reptiles and amphibians including caimans, crocodiles, tree frogs, boa constrictors, iguanas, and river turtles. Mammals can be spotted as well: sloths, coatis, and as many as three species of monkeys.

The mangrove forest tour is a great tour for those who wish a more relaxing eco-adventure. No walking is involved – just sit back and enjoy the mangroves in comfort. 

Two routes are available, both offer an unprecedented adventure:.

San Pedrillo Station:

A 35-minute boat ride to the mouth of the Sierpe River through the mangrove channels, followed by approximately 45 minutes to the park station by the Pacific Ocean (same duration for return). Departure is at 8:00 am, return at 4:00 pm at The Sierpe Port.

Consists of two hikes on two different trails, with a duration of two and a half hours for the first hike, followed by a buffet lunch (fruits, salad, juice, water, dessert, ham, and other snacks). The second hike is one and a half hours, leading to a waterfall in the midst of a primary forest, with ample time for swimming. A total of three and a half hours at the station, with an explanation and search for some species in the mangrove area on the return journey. Includes: local bilingual guide, entrance fees, lunch, boat transportation, mangroves, insurance, whale watching during the season.

Sirena Station:

Departure at 7:00 am. Like the San Pedrillo Station, the boat journey traverses the largest wetland water trails in Costa Rica, with a duration of 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours to Sirena (same duration for return). Followed by hikes within a secondary forest, exploring the various park trails in search of Corcovado’s flora and fauna.
