Uvita: Corcovado National Park: San Pedrillo Nature Hike｜Costa Rica

We’ll head to Uvita Beach, the gateway to Marino Ballena National Park. Here, you’ll board our boat for a thrilling 90-minute cruise towards San Pedrillo Ranger Station. Keep your eyes peeled for majestic whales and playful dolphins, depending on the season.

Once at San Pedrillo Beach, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the stunning rainforest through two different hiking trails. Immerse yourself in nature’s beauty as you encounter a diverse array of wildlife, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects. This region is renowned for its incredible biodiversity, boasting 3% of the world’s rainforest species.

At the park you’ll hike two different trails, the first around 3 hours long followed by lunch, and the second – leading to a waterfall –
approximately 1.5 hours long. Both provide a fantastic opportunity to
encounter numerous mammals such as howler, spider and white-faced monkeys, sloths, coatis, raccoons and tapirs, as well as a great variety of birds, plants, and endangered trees that have been standing for centuries.

For a refreshing escape, follow the trail to a hidden waterfall where you can cool off with a swim.
