Experience the last coastal primary rainforest on Earth with our passionate guides!
Stare in awe at some of the oldest trees in Costa Rica as spider monkeys drop seeds on you. Take a dip in the rio pargo and learn about what makes this ecosystem so unique. The San Pedrillo Station gets the most puma sightings then anywhere on the Osa. Our tours are comprised exclusively of guests staying at the lodge which means you get the benefit of a more intimate experience!
PLEASE NOTE: All Corcovado + Cano Island tours MUST be booked weeks to months in advance! The park only allows 100 people to enter per day and requires us to obtain permits for your entry!
MEET YOUR GUIDE
Yasnir Salazar was born and raised just a few kilometers from the lodge in an indigenous community where economic opportunity is scarce. He grew up hunting and fishing in the area and started his career in tourism doing odd jobs at the lodge.
Over the years, he learned to captain the boat and lead tours to Cano Island. Based on the smiles and excitement from anyone who went on an excursion with him, it was evident that he could become one of the top guides in the area.
His upbringing gave him a deep knowledge for the forest, and his positive attitude made him a natural guide. By working at the lodge, he was able to save up for his guiding certification and now he is one of the top-rated guides in Corcovado. Yasnir lives onsite, although he spends many nights at our overnight camp.
Are there more animals at Sirena?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: We only do tours to San Pedrillo because we believe it is a better experience for our guests. San Pedrillo is primary rainforest whereas Sirena is secondary. San Pedrillo offers an old growth environment which is what people would expect to see in Corcovado, enormous, rare tree species and undisturbed forest. The scenery there is unbeatable with majestic waterfalls and rivers.
Most tours from Drake Bay go to Sirena because the trails are completely flat and easy for people of all physical conditions to do. Any blog that says the Sirena Station has more wildlife than San Pedrillo is outdated and misinformed. There are just as many animals in the San Pedrillo sector as Sirena with the added benefit of also having less humans touring there every day!
