Find your kind of wild

Is this the right expedition for you?

Two nights gives you time for both sides of Corcovado: patient wildlife watching in Sirena and a more active journey into San Pedrillo's forest.

You'll feel at home here if…

  • You enjoy slowing down for wildlife.

    You want time to watch behaviour, wait quietly by a river and discover the smaller creatures as well as the familiar favourites.

  • You also want to explore deeper.

    Forested trails, rivers and waterfalls excite you. You like the idea of changing pace as the journey moves from Sirena to San Pedrillo.

  • You're happy with simple forest comforts.

    Shared bunk beds, early starts and the sounds of the jungle feel like part of the adventure.

Choose a different experience if…

  • You want a wildlife-focused stay at a slower pace.

    Sirena Overnight keeps your experience centred on wildlife observation in one area.

    Explore Sirena Overnight →
  • You only have two days available.

    Sirena & San Pedrillo Overnight offers a shorter visit to Sirena followed by the more active forest experience.

    Explore the one-night expedition →
  • You need private rooms and hotel-style comfort.

    Both nights use simple shared accommodation. Choose this journey for the immersion in nature and the experience of staying in the forest.

If the experience and participation requirements match what you are looking for, check availability for your three days in Corcovado.

This is the approximate departure-to-lunch window, including breaks and waterfall stops. It is not continuous walking time. Your guide adjusts the route to trail and weather conditions.

Plan for the terrain, not just the kilometres. Humidity, mud, uneven footing and repeated climbs add to the effort. Distances and schedules are approximate; your guide may adapt the route to weather and trail conditions. Review the participation requirements.

Your return point may differ from your pickup beach. Coastal or out-of-route accommodation can require an additional transfer.

Staying at different hotels before and after the tour? Send us both names. A beach pickup being included does not automatically mean the return to that same beach is included.

Mandatory · The day before your tour

Meet the team. Get ready for the jungle.

Attend a pre-tour briefing at the Sukia Travel office the day before departure. It is an essential part of preparing for your two-night expedition.

  • Park rules & policiesUnderstand how visits to Corcovado work and the rules to follow inside the park.
  • Safety & expedition planReview safety guidance, the daily rhythm and the practical details of your journey.
  • Fitness & readiness checkDiscuss your physical condition and the demands of the route with our team before the excursion.

Staying remotely, or unable to visit the office?Let us know in advance so we can arrange the mandatory briefing by phone. This is also the practical option for guests staying in more remote parts of Drake Bay.

Arrange your briefing →

Before booking, confirm your accommodation, any extra return-transfer charge and how you will attend the briefing. For the walking requirements, see the daily hiking guide.

Leave Drake Bay for three days in Corcovado, with time to follow the forest’s changing rhythm. Explore Sirena’s trails with your naturalist guide, stay overnight, then continue to San Pedrillo for giant trees, waterfalls and more demanding jungle hikes.

This expedition is for travelers who want a longer journey and are comfortable with sustained walking in tropical conditions. Wildlife sightings vary; the reward is time to explore two different forest experiences.
