The Corcovado Sirena Station day tour is one of the most rewarding wildlife experiences in all of Costa Rica. Departing from Drake Bay on the Osa Peninsula, this full-day excursion takes you deep into Corcovado National Park, home to one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on the planet. The destination: Sirena Ranger Station, the beating heart of Corcovado and the best place in the park to spot wildlife up close.
Corcovado National Park is widely considered by National Geographic as the most biologically intense place on Earth. The Sirena Station sits at the confluence of two rivers and the ocean, creating a unique habitat where tapirs, jaguars, scarlet macaws, spider monkeys, and hundreds of other species are regularly spotted. The Corcovado Sirena Station tour gives you direct access to these trails, guided by a certified bilingual naturalist who knows the park inside out.
