This tour takes you from Manuel Antonio to Corcovado National Park. The day starts early with a pickup from your hotel and a trip to Sierpe Mangroves, where you’ll board a boat for a two-hour ride through the mangroves and into the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, you may see dolphins, sea turtles, and humpback whales during the season.
The trails at Corcovado National Park are flat and well-kept, but it can be humid and hot with many mosquitoes during the rainy season. The park covers 1812 km2, and the Osa Peninsula is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. You’ll start hiking on a wet landing on the beach and have the opportunity to see monkeys, sloths, and other wildlife.
After a two-hour hike, you’ll enjoy a hefty lunch at the ranger’s station before embarking on a second, shorter hike to a small waterfall. The day ends with a boat ride back to Sierpe, arriving in Manuel Antonio after sunset. It’s recommended to make reservations in advance due to government policies limiting daily visitors to the park.
