The tour begins from the beach at Agujitas, where you will meet your guide and embark on the boat that will take you to Sirena Ranger Station within Corcovado National Park. From Drake Bay it takes about 1 hour by boat, depending on natural conditions such as rain, tides, or wind. Once there, we have a wet landing at the beach followed by the check in with the rangers and a short briefing before start the hike. The ranger station facilities are located 20 minutes walking from the landing area.

Sirena Ranger Station is located within the Corcovado Basin and hosts an abundance of wildlife of all types. Undeniably, Sirena Ranger Station is the best destination for unparalleled wildlife viewing in Corcovado, and quite possibly  Costa Rica. Located in the core of Corcovado National Park, Sirena Ranger Station is a unique piece of heaven for some of the rarest animals of tropical Central America. The station itself lends for a rustic energy with its wooden buildings connected by covered walkways. Surrounded by unique landscapes and what National Geographic claims to be the most biologically intense place on earth. Search for rare and endangered animals amongst pristine natural conditions. Species such as 4 different species of monkeys including capuchin, howler and the acrobatic spider monkeys. Snakes, sloths, macaws and tons of other rare bird species are all commonly seen around the dense and exuberant flora from the rainforests of Osa. It is the right habitat to meet the tapir, its rivers are patrolled by large crocodiles and bull sharks, the only thing you need is to follow your guide and enjoy the tropical forest.

This place is excellent to see shorebirds and herons close to the beach and river mouth, more deep in the forest mix flocks that include antbirds, wrens, manakins, woodcreepers, tanagers and of course expecting more than one surprise every now and then as we explore the zone. Our target birds here are King Vulture, Crested Guan, Great Tinamu, Bairds Trogon, Black-Bellied Wren, Rudy-Tailed Flycatcher, Rufous-Tailed Jacamar, Ringed Kingfisher, White-Whiskered Puffbird, Pale-billed Woodpecker or even the rare Red-Throated Caracara.

The ranger station has facilities like showers, restrooms, free drinkable water refill, a little souvenir shop and a restaurant. After a nice meal in the station around 11 a.m we will hike back to the beach and take the boat ride back.

*PLEASE NOTE: ALL CORCOVADO HIKERS ARE REQUIRED TO HIKE WITH A GUIDE! No one is allowed to enter the park without a guide. Please consider making your reservations BEFORE arriving in Costa Rica.
