Corcovado National Park Sirena Ranger Station (Tour from Sierpe)

Sirena Station Tour: The Heart of Corcovado's Wildlife

Prepare for the adventure of a lifetime. The Sirena Station tour is the ultimate experience within Corcovado National Park, taking you to the area with the highest concentration of wildlife in Costa Rica's 'crown jewel.' This full-day tour offers a deep immersion into the rainforest, ideal for true nature lovers seeking epic wildlife sightings.

The Adventure That Takes You Deep into the Jungle

Your expedition begins with an exciting and longer boat trip from Sierpe, passing through the mangroves and then navigating the vast Pacific Ocean. The journey itself is an opportunity to enjoy the pristine coastline and, if you're lucky, spot dolphins or even humpback whales during the season.

Upon arrival at Sirena, you'll experience a 'wet landing' on the beach, an exciting start to your hike on well-maintained, flat trails. Unlike other tours, the focus at Sirena is to spend most of the time in the jungle, maximizing every moment for wildlife observation.

The Treasures of Sirena: An Unmatched Wildlife Encounter

Sirena Station is famous for being the best place to see large and elusive mammals. Here, the chances of an encounter are extraordinarily high:

• Tapir (Baird's Tapir): Sirena is one of the best places in the world to see the elusive tapir.
• Giant Anteater: Though shy, this majestic animal is sighted more frequently in this area.
• All Four Monkey Species: The density of howler, capuchin, spider, and squirrel monkeys is incredibly high, ensuring a constant spectacle.
• Big Cats: While extremely rare, camera traps have confirmed the presence of pumas and jaguars, adding an element of mystery and excitement.
• Exotic Birds: Trogons, scarlet macaws, toucans, and over 300 species of birds await you in the forest canopy.
