This adventure begins in Drake Bay, a picturesque village surrounded by the sea and mountains, located in the northwestern part of the peninsula. From there you will take a boat to the heart of Corcovado National Park, the Sirena Biological Station. Along the way, it is possible to see dolphins, turtles, and even whales, depending on the season (July to November).
In the park, you will enjoy a guided hike and appreciate the innumerable biodiversity that is hosted in the area. After midday, you’ll take the boat from Sirena towards Drake. Once back, the transport will pick you up and take you to Naguala, where you’ll sleep in small cabins surrounded by the rainforest.
The second day, you’ll visit one of the many natural pools that are found along the river, accompanied by a “baqueano”. You will also have time to relax in this quiet and peaceful spot of the rainforest. The adventure ends with a final ride back to Drake Bay.
Things to bring: Minimum 1-2 liters of water per person, sunscreen, insect repellent, hiking shoes (protected, comfortable, and preferably waterproof), sandals, light and quick dry clothes, hat or cap, handkerchief, swimsuit, snacks for the walk (mixed nuts, dry fruits, cookies, energy or cereal bars, etc.), camera, a flashlight, binoculars (optional), sunglasses (optional), and water filter or purifying pills or other water treatments (optional).
