Tour to Corcovado National Park – Costa rica Insider.pptx

Your tour to Corcovado National Park begins early in the morning with a boat trip along the beautiful coast of the Osa Peninsula. Marine mammals thrive in the warm Pacific waters and there is a good chance that you will encounter dolphins, turtles or (in some months) even whales during the trip. The trip to the San Pedrillo station takes about 1.5 hours from Uvita and about 45 minutes from Drake Bay. Day trips to Sirena Station are only offered from Drake Bay and the boat trip takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Since there is no jetty at the stations, the boat stops on the beach and you wade a few meters through the warm, knee-deep water. Your guides will be happy to help you get out. Please note that no plastic is allowed into the park. It is therefore important to bring a refillable water bottle with you. Cigarettes are also not allowed. Before you set off on the hike, you will have the opportunity to use the toilets.

Then it starts! You are now in one of the most species-rich areas in the world and during your hike in Corcovado National Park you have the opportunity to discover various bird species, all four monkey species native to Costa Rica , sloths, anteaters, peccaries (a type of wild boar) and many other animals.
