About your guide

Yasnir Salazar was born and raised just a few kilometers from the lodge in an indigenous community ​ where economic opportunity is scarce. He grew up hunting and fishing in the area and started his career in tourism doing odd jobs at the lodge. Over the years, he learned to captain the boat and lead tours to Cano Island. Based on the smiles and excitement from anyone who went on an excursion with him, it was evident that he could become one of the top guides in the area. His upbringing gave him a deep knowledge for the forest, and his positive attitude made him a natural guide. By working at the lodge, he was able to save up for his guiding certification and now he is one of the top rated guides in Corcovado. Yasnir lives onsite although he spends many nights at our overnight camp.

...We also experienced the jungle tour with an overnight stay. The trip started a little differently because a third party forgot to pick us up. However, it was resolved well and quickly. We would recommend this tour to everyone!! What an adventure!! Many thanks to Yaznir, our guide. He heard and saw so much, unbelievable! You sleep in the middle of the jungle in a good tent, which is on an elevation. A shelter has been made to provide extra protection against rain. The food during this trip was well organized and tasty. Thanks for bringing the food Jeffrey! The night walk was unforgettable and Yaznir's enthusiasm certainly contributed to this. In short, a stay in a beautiful place with fantastic staff and beautiful tours!

What to expect

Corcovado is the most exclusive national park in Costa Rica with the strictest rules and limitations on how many people can enter, who can guide tours, and activity protocols. Only a select list of local guides are allowed into the park, and the stations are boat access only.

These rules and protocols have saved many critically endangered species on the Osa Peninsula from extinction. This conservation success is an example of the measures that must be taken to save and bring back rainforests and their inhabitants. Up until recently, it was very difficult to spot any large wildlife like a tapir due to overhunting and habitat destruction . Now, the tapir sightings are part of what makes the area so attractive for tourism.

The park is an incredibly special place precisely because it is a wild and undisturbed rainforest. The fact that it is so exclusive and has such strict regulations helps to ensure that it remains that way, providing a haven for critically endangered species and allowing visitors to witness nature in its purest form. While it's true that there's no guarantee of specific animal sightings, visitors to Corcovado can appreciate the beauty and wonder of the rainforest as a whole, and the chance to catch a glimpse of some of its incredible inhabitants is truly a bonus.

The boat ride between Sirena and San Pedrillo takes about 45 minutes, we disembark in the wildest area of Corcovado.

THIS IS WHERE THE ADVENTURE BEGINS!

In this tour the trails are irregular, wilder and in a more natural environment , we start walking to the San Pedrillo Waterfall where we will have lunch and refresh ourselves in fresh water pools.

The objective of this part of the tour is to get to know one of the only primary rainforests in the world , with ancient trees, forests over 3000 years old, land of top predators, such as pumas, jaguars, etc.

Here the animals are more elusive and maintain their natural behavior , so it is more difficult to see them, but you can get a great surprise, like seeing a tayra hunting a sloth, or a puma hunting a spider monkey.

The main reason why we love this part of the tour is because of the interaction between prey and predators , even if it is just hearing or feeling them, it is something magical. We will walk on trails that only we walk, always looking for the purest and most adventure oriented.

Here you will feel the force of nature, you will feel small and spied.

In this par t of the tour the speed of the walk is faster, mainly to be able to surprise the animals are very elusive and to arrive at the station before nightfall.

Once we have covered a total of 16km and arrived safe at the station, we will have dinner and get ready to rest, for today we lived enough adventure.

The next day, we wake up to the sounds of the jungle, have breakfast and recharge energy for the last part of the tour.

In this hike you will walk about 10 km, always visiting wild trails and away from humans.

You will have to opportunity to refresh in the river, and see a beautiful waterfall and we arrive at noon to los planes where we take the lunch and a 4X4 wait to take us back to Drake bay .   

PLEASE NOTE: – The tour is for adventurers. – In the rainy season, there is a lot of mud, you have to cross rivers, there are obstacles on the trails, since they are irregular.   – The tour is focused on appreciating nature in its purest state, therefore the observation of animals is unpredictable. – An adequate physical condition is required , if you have doubts you can consult us.

In the afternoon, you will hike to the camp, passing through a primary forest, where the trees are so tall that they cover the sunlight. 

On this hike, we change the focus of the tour, the objective is no longer to look for animals (although they are there) but to experience a real jungle, a very intense place, with an ancient forest. Here we will need to alert our senses to perceive the jungle.

This hike ends at the place where we will sleep and have dinner.
