What will you experience?

Your journey begins in Sierpe, where we board a boat and travel through the Sierpe River before continuing along the Pacific coast toward the remote Sirena Biological Station. Once inside the park, you'll explore the surrounding rainforest with your certified local naturalist guide, focusing on wildlife observation, photography and understanding the complex ecosystems of Corcovado.
