Day 2:
Puerto Jiménez - Sirena Station Corcovado by Los Patos Trail
|
|
After an early breakfast we will travel by car towards Los
Patos Station where our trek will begin. Our adventure today
will inmerse us in the middle of the most biologically intense
rainforest in Costa Rica. Monkeys are very abundant, the four
species found in Costa Rica can be observed here: Spider,
White-faced, Howler, and Squirrel Monkeys. Large groups of
White-nosed Coatis, Pecaries, and small groups of Agouties,
and the wonderful Tapir can be seen on the trail as we get
deeper in the jungle. The avifuana finds a paradise in this
lowland rainforest, raptors as the White Hawk, Great Black Hawk,
Mangrove Black Hawk, and King Vultures can be spotted very often,
and even the Harpy Eagle has been recently seen, which brings hope
of its return to the Osa Peninsula. This trekking experience is
defenitely the finest alternative to truly explore a rainforest.
We will be arriving to Sirena Station in the afternoon where we
will stay for the next two nights. Dinner. (B,L,D)

Day 3:
Corcovado National Park - Sirena Station
|

Breakfast. A full day to enjoy the rainforest and rivers around
Sirena Station. In the morning we will hike towards Claro River
admiring the lush vegetation and the abundant wildlife, and then
take a swim in the river. Come back to the station for lunch.
Afternoon hike towards Sirena River. This river is quite nice
for wildlife, there are crocodiles that rest on the sand banks.
A lot of birds are observed along the river, egrets, kingfishers
and different species of shore birds.
The Sirena River is famous
for its sharks, duirng high tie it is possible to see sharks coming
into the river mouth for feeding and have them very close to the river's
bank. We will come back to the Station for dinner. A nocturnal hike
can be done, Tapirs and wildcats are very nocturnal, so there is better
chance to see them at night. In the mouth of the Sirena River we can
see the reflection of the crocodile eyes, and the fishing bats flying
over the river, as we hike towards some good spots to find Tapirs. (B,L,D)

Day 4:
Sirena Station - Puerto Jiménez by Coastal Trail

as we will have to cross the Claro River and Salsipuedes
Point, so the day's schedule will be plan based on low tide.

where the forest meets the ocean, wildlife is as usual very
abundant. Our hike today might last 7-8 hours until we reach Carate,

by car to Puerto Jimenez where we will spend the night in Parrot Bay
Village or equivalent. Dinner. (B,L,D)
