About this experience

Guided hike into Corcovado National Park — one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, with tapirs, monkeys, and crocodiles in secondary forest.

Corcovado National Park is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Sirena Station sits at the heart of the park, and the trail system here passes through secondary forest where the greatest concentration of animals is found — tapirs, monkeys, and crocodiles. A naturalist guide is mandatory for all visitors, and will explain the most remarkable details about the wildlife along the way. The trails cross streams and rivers and include slippery, sloping terrain.
