⁠Corcovado Day Tour: San Pedrillo Ranger Station

Discover the Wild and Rugged Side of Corcovado from Drake Bay

Discover one of the most scenic and untouched sectors of Corcovado National Park
with our unforgettable San Pedrillo Day Tour. Known for its lush primary rainforest,
beautiful waterfalls, and breathtaking coastline, San Pedrillo offers an authentic
rainforest experience away from the larger crowds.

Your adventure begins at 6:00 am, departing from Drake Bay on a scenic 30 to 40-minute boat ride along the stunning Pacific coastline. During the journey, keep an eye out for marine wildlife such as dolphins, sea turtles, seabirds, and, during whale season, majestic humpback whales.

Upon arriving at San Pedrillo, prepare for a wet landing before stepping into one of the most biodiverse rainforests on Earth. Accompanied by your certified naturalist guide, you’ll explore forest trails surrounded by towering ancient trees, learning about the incredible flora and fauna that make Corcovado world-famous.

Wildlife sightings may include white-faced, howler, and spider monkeys, scarlet macaws, toucans, trogons, parrots, coatis, peccaries, poison dart frogs, and many other fascinating species. With a bit of luck, you may even encounter the elusive Baird’s tapir, one of the park’s most iconic mammals. The trails are considered easy to moderate, with some uneven terrain, exposed roots, and a few stream crossings. During the rainy season, muddy sections make the experience even more adventurous.

After spending the morning immersed in the rainforest, we’ll return by boat to Drake Bay, arriving back around 1:30–2:00 pm, leaving you with unforgettable memories of one of Costa Rica’s most spectacular national parks.
