Biological Station Sirena-Corcovado National Park by Sierpe

Corcovado National Park’s Sirena Station is considered one of the most rugged and extreme areas in the country. Its wonders have been recognized by several travel magazines and environmental organizations, such as Nat Geo, which described it as “the most biologically intense area in the world when it comes to biodiversity.” Visiting this place is a must for anyone traveling to South Costa Rica.

We offer a Corcovado Sirena Station Tour that starts from Sierpe, which is approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour away from Uvita. The adventure begins at 7:00 am from Sierpe, with a 45-minute boat ride through the renowned Terraba/Sierpe mangrove, which is the largest in Costa Rica. This mangrove provides opportunities to spot crocodiles, birds, monkeys, and other wildlife. Then, the boat follows the stunning Pacific coast for about 40 minutes until we reach Corcovado. Along the way, there’s a good chance to encounter dolphins, sea turtles, and whales (July-October, December-March).

Upon arriving at the station, you will start a hike looking for tapirs, cougars (puma), and many other mammals around this jungle at the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. After the hike, the boat returns to Sierpe, with an estimated arrival time around 4:00 pm.

Additionally, please note the following restrictions during the tour:

• Single-use plastics are not allowed in the national park. Only reusable bottles are permitted.
• Weapons, such as personal blades, are not allowed.
• Cigarettes or electronic cigarettes are not allowed to be used.
• For all these points, items confiscated will not be returned.

It’s important to note that visits to Corcovado National Park are regulated to maintain sustainable tourism levels and minimize the impact on the ecosystem. Reservations fill up quickly, so book with us now to secure your spot!
