Why are Osa/Corcovado trips pricier than other areas?
Osa is the last tourism frontier: remote boat routes, limited park permits, strict caps and scarce infrastructure. That means complex logistics and small groups for low impact.
We are the operator, not a reseller—you’re not paying a middle-man. For the level of logistics and conservation fees here, our prices are fair and transparent.
Is it safe?
Trips are guide-led by WFR/SAR teams with radios, route plans and weather calls. Remote ≠ risky when run by professionals. If a route isn’t safe, we don’t run it.
How fit do I need to be?
These are moderate adventures. Longest walking days can reach ~15–20 km with plenty of wildlife stops. Tell us your level and we’ll match you to the right route.
How big are the groups? Can I go private?
Small groups for better sightings and low impact (overnights typically ≤6; day trips ≤8). Private departures are available—ask us.
Can kids or older travelers join?
Not recommended for children under 12. Active families with motivated teens do great. For older you need a strong physic to enjoy the excursion—ask a guide.
How do permits work?
Corcovado has strict daily limits. We check your dates, hold permits if available and confirm within 24h. Early requests = better chances.
What about deposits and cancellation?
To secure park access we take a permit/park-ticket deposit (non-refundable by the park). The remaining terms depend on the itinerary level. If we don’t deliver what we promise, our 100% money-back promise applies.
What should I pack?
Sturdy hiking shoes, light rain layer, quick-dry clothing, daypack, refillable bottle. We send a simple, proven gear list after you request availability.
Can you handle dietary needs? What languages do guides speak?
Yes—tell us your needs in advance (vegetarian, vegan, allergies). Our guides speak Spanish & English.
Do you guarantee wildlife sightings?
Nature isn’t guaranteed. But Osa/Corcovado offer some of the highest biodiversity and encounter rates in the Americas. Our local guides maximize your chances while keeping distances ethical.
