Corcovado National Park

A 4-kilometer walk along the beach from Finca Exotica takes you to the entrance of Corcovado National Park, proclaimed by National Geographic as "the most biologically intense place on earth." Comprising 60% of the peninsula's landmass, Corcovado is one of the largest remaining protected tracts of Pacific Coast Rainforest left in the world. It is home to over 140 species of mammals, 375 species of birds, 850 kinds of trees and 4 types of monkeys. Many of Costa Rica's important or endangered rainforest species are protected here, including tapirs, pumas, jaguars, crocodiles, peccaries, monkeys and sloths. From the illusive puma to the infamous Morpho butterfly, Corcovado is teaming with wildlife!

Join us on an optional three-day/two night hike through Corcovado National Park to the Sirena Ranger Station. This extraordinary adventure takes you 19 kilometers into the rainforest, where you will wade through shallow rivers, cross long stretches of beach and hike beneath the rainforest canopy. As incredible as this trip is, it is not for the faint of heart as this journey is both physically and mentally challenging. Located deep within the Park, Sirena offers access to basic facilities including showers, washrooms and potable water but aside from the basics, the accommodations are fairly rustic. Camping out will definitely be worth it though as you will see more in two days of hiking than you would in two weeks anywhere else in Costa Rica. While at Sirena, you can take optional day or night hikes along the trails in search of wildlife.

If this 3-day trek is not for you, we offer single day hikes into Corcovado where you will have the opportunity to experience the Park while returning to the comforts of Finca Exotica at the end of the day. These trips take you along a well worn path through the rainforest where the sound of crashing waves hide the sound of your footsteps, making it an excellent hike for spotting wildlife. As your experienced guides, we supply any additional necessary equipment you may need, as well as tips and information on spotting animals. If you have any questions about trips into Corcovado, please let us know.
