This tour starts in Puerto Jimenez and ends in Puerto Jimenez.
Although, you can choose to exit towards Drake on the last day to lower the intensity of the tour. In that case have in mind that, you might need the luggage transfer service between PJ and Drake. We don't recommend doing any Corcovado hike with more than 6 kilograms on your back. Policies apply for the luggage transfer, you can read them here: Luggage Transfer Policies.
We also offer a taxi service from Drake Bay to Puerto Jiménez or vice-versa in case you need to move between these towns.
If you're coming in a rented car, and you plan to exit on the other side of the Peninsula after your tour, we can help you move it from Drake to PJ or vice-versa. Ask about our car relocation service. Policies apply, you can read them here: Car Relocation Policies.

The La Tarde Ecotouristic Project, located in the northern mountains of Corcovado, is a rural tourism initiative that borders the national park and an excellent place for watching birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Here you will spend the first night, in a simple and beautiful cabin. With a stunning view of the forest, the accommodations include a towel, soap, sheets, and shared bathrooms.
The Sirena Biological Station is located 800 mts from the beach. It has two roofed wooden platforms with 18 bunk beds each. Space between the beds is less than one meter apart, resulting in little privacy. The beds are furnished with sheets, a pillow, and mosquito net.
There are nice and clean bathrooms and showers (no hot water available), plus a souvenir shop where you can buy cold drinks, coffee, and snacks.
At the open-air dinning room, you will enjoy a typical Costa Rican meal, big enough to recover all the energy after lots of hiking.
There are lockers where you can store personal belongings for $4 per day. You may also rent towels for $5.
Caño Island Biological Reserve offers one of the best diving experiences in Costa Rica. The waters here are filled with abundant marine life: turtles, dolphins, rays, sharks, eels, hundreds of fish, coral, sponges, and a wide variety of mollusks and arthropods. When in season you could even encounter humpback whales and whale sharks.
