Corcovado National Park Tour - San Pedrillo Station - Drake Bay Wilderness Resor
Overview
Today’s Corcovado National Park tour is known as the backpacker’s dream. You will begin the tour from Drake Bay where you will meet the boat captain and board the waiting boat. A 30 to 45-minute boat ride over to the protected park will give you an opportunity to look for marine life and shore birds. Once you arrive at the San Pedrillo Ranger Station you will go on a guided hike of approximately 2 miles through a wide variety of eco-systems supporting different kinds of wildlife in their natural habitats. Your naturalist guide will share a wealth of information about the eco-systems and their inhabitants and help identify any wildlife you may encounter. The hike will include a visit to the San Pedrillo Waterfall. At some point lunch will be provided. Your tour includes boat transportation to and from the ranger station, naturalist guide, park entrance fees and lunch. Total time of tour and round trip boat transportation combined can take from 5 to 7 hours depending on the size of your group. Please wear non-skid, completely enclosed hiking shoes, lightweight sun protective clothing and bring sunscreen, insect repellent, rain gear, binoculars, and camera. You might like to have additional snacks and plenty of drinking water. This is a moderately difficult hike that will take the backpacking enthusiast into the wonderful world of an untamed jungle where you can experience first-hand Costa Rica’s tremendous biodiversity.What to Bring

We went to the further location, Sirena. The boat journey was a good hour or so, and pretty bumpy. The tour itself was good and we saw a good selection of animals. The guide engaged the kids. We got to stop at the ranger station and get a juice which was very good and plantain chips.

For going that far, we would have preferred the 2nd ranger station because there was more wildlife there but we didn’t realize the difference. But we did enjoy the waterfall on our hike.
