About: Corcovado National Park
San Pedrillo Station, Corcovado National Park
San Pedrillo Ranger Station is the closest park station to Drake Bay. The 20-minute boat ride to San Pedrillo gives a sweeping introduction to the amazing landscape of Corcovado National Park, and it is a chance to observe schools of dolphins and other marine life along the way.
Upon arriving at the park, the wet landing makes sandals the footwear of choice. However, visitors should also bring hiking boots for the trails. On the 3-hour hike through primary and secondary forest, it is possible to see all four types of Costa Rican monkeys as well as the famous three and two-toed sloth. The hike is a treat for bird lovers, who will be enchanted by the wide variety of species- everything from kingfishers to spectacular macaws and toucans.
A mid-day break will be taken at the Ranger Station where you can enjoy lunch. After lunch your guide will take you on short hike ending at a beautiful, hidden waterfall (so be sure to bring your bathing suit!) Once you've cooled off in its clear waters, you will head to the boat for the return trip.
