Osa Peninsula Trekking

Hike through Corcovado Nationalpark

1. Tag	San Jose - Puerto Jimenez: Flight from San José to Puerto Jiménez. After the formalities with the park administration there is time to stroll along the beach in Puerto Jimenez before having dinner in one of the small, typical restaurants
2. Tag	Corcovado / Cerro de Oro: Take the morning bus to La Palma (around 45 minutes) close to Corcovado National Park and hike from here through different kinds of vegetation; several times you will have to cross the river Rio Rincón until reaching the small gold prospectors settlement Unioro. Here you will spend the night in very rustic rooms with shared baths. The afternoon is at your disposal to explore the surrounding rainforest. Several trails lead into the dense forest and to places with spectacular views of the vegetation of the national park; with some luck you might even spot scarlet macaws, monkeys or other inhabitants of the rainforest.
3. Tag	Corcovado / from Los Patos to Sirena: Very early departure for a second hike of around 25 km - approx. 8 hours. Our trail leads us first around 2.5 km to the park entrance and then to the ranger station Los Patos (3 more km), where we will be served a hearty breakfast. We continue through exciting, pristine rainforest. In the late afternoon we will arrive at the ranger and research station Sirena on the Pacific coast.... never before has a shower been so refreshing... And the dinner prepared by the ranger cook, could not be more delicious! .
4. Tag	Corcovado / La Sirena: All around the ranger station, there are well-marked hiking trails, leading through different forms of the rain forest. We will observe birds, monkeys and peccaries (wild pigs) in the dense forest, crabs and iguanas on the beach or ... The sunsets from the porch of the ranger station are unforgettable: herds of monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans and many other birds inhabiting the surrounding trees allow us to experience the rainforest with all our senses. There is also the possibility to explore the jungle river Rio Sirena by canoe
5. Tag	Corcovado / Sirena - Carate - Pto. Jiménez: Early in the morning we leave this little paradise for our last hike to Carate (around 16 km). Our departure time will depend on the tide as we will have to cross two rivers at low tide. We will hike south along the Pacific Ocean: partly walking on deserted, pristine beaches. Again, our hike will be accompanied by scarlet macaws and other animals of the rainforest until the ranger station La Leona and then Carate, where we will be picked up by a Jeep-Taxi that will take us back to Puerto Jimenez
