Because access to Corcovado isn't ours to sell on demand. Every tour depends on permits issued by the national park (SINAC) and on limited space at the ranger stations. We confirm your dates first, then you pay — never the other way around.

One to two months ahead. High season runs December through April, plus Semana Santa and public holidays. Sirena has a strict daily visitor cap and far fewer overnight spaces, so last-minute availability is very limited.

Most of our tours leave from Puerto Jiménez, which is centrally located and easy to reach. If you're staying in Drake Bay, we also run selected departures from there — tell us when you enquire.

Early. Most start between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m. depending on the route, because we travel by boat or 4x4 to reach the park. We confirm your exact meeting point and time with your reservation, and we ask you to arrive ten minutes before.

Every tour takes place in hot, humid conditions.

For multi-day hikes we recommend ages 12 and up, in good physical condition. If you're travelling with younger children, write to us — several of our shorter tours work well for families.

Corcovado holds one of the densest concentrations of species on Earth. You may see Baird's tapirs; spider, howler and white-faced monkeys; sloths; scarlet macaws; coatis and toucans — and there's a real chance of wild cats such as pumas.

Nothing is guaranteed in the wild. But our guides have spent years on these trails and know where the animals move.

Vegetarian or vegan? Tell us in advance and we'll arrange it.

Not allowed in the park

At Sirena Ranger Station, inside the park. It's simple and it's meant to be: shared dormitories with bunk beds and mosquito nets, shared bathrooms, clean basic facilities.

There is no hotel inside Corcovado. Falling asleep to the sound of the rainforest is part of what you came for.

Yes. Every tour is led by a certified guide who follows park protocol and carries first-aid and communication equipment. Groups are kept to a maximum of six travellers per guide. Following your guide's instructions at all times is mandatory.

Tours run rain or shine — this is a rainforest, and rain is part of it. Safety comes first: if the boats can't operate or the park closes, we reschedule or offer an alternative whenever possible.

Yes. The deposit is what secures your permits and your dates — we use it to purchase the park tickets and confirm logistics. We'll confirm the exact amount when we confirm your reservation.

Cancellations and changes depend on park regulations and permit conditions, and permits are non-refundable once they have been issued. We'll share the terms that apply to your booking when we confirm your reservation.
