Reviews
We took a day trip to Sirena station with Jairo, and it was an amazing experience. Jairo is undoubtedly one of the most expert guides in Corcovado, showing a clear enthusiasm for the jungle and its wildlife. His ability to spot animals that I would have missed was impressive, and he provided a telescope for everyone to use. I suggest bringing binoculars as well. We encountered a baby sloth, a resting tapir, several coatis, a baby crocodile, a baby caiman, agutis, a basilisk, and all four types of monkeys. Our walk from around 8 to 11 a.m. covered about 3-4 miles on a flat, easy trail with numerous stops. Although it was muddy, we didn’t have to wade through water. It’s essential to wear closed-toed shoes; I initially wore Chacos and ended up with ant bites, so I switched to sneakers. There were a few mosquitoes, but they weren't too bothersome, and the forest canopy provided ample cover. We felt quite damp, especially following the boat ride. The boat ride from Puerto Jimenez to Sirena was a bit bumpy, likely due to unusually windy weather. We got soaked from a rainstorm, so wearing a raincoat is advisable. On the return trip, we were lucky to see dolphins and a yellow-bellied sea snake. Upon arrival at Sirena, the boat offers a wet exit, and there's a station to check backpacks and ensure you aren't bringing any prohibited items. They have running water bathrooms and a place to rinse off sandy feet. After our hike, we had an hour to enjoy lunch at Sirena station, which was quite picturesque with surprisingly nice restrooms. The meal was delicious, featuring rice, beans, veggies, and meat. As a vegetarian, I received a stuffed roasted tomato instead. There's also a gift shop with tasty cookies and high-quality coffee. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this tour and had a fantastic day in Corcovado.
We encountered an incredible range of wildlife during our 4-5 hour tour, including three species of monkeys, a sloth, tapirs, a porcupine, quati, a toucan, and a wild pig.
Carlos was an outstanding guide. His deep knowledge of the park and ecosystem was impressive, and he had a remarkable skill for spotting wildlife that we would have missed otherwise. He could even mimic bird calls well enough to attract the birds. It was a fantastic experience.
