An incredible experience. We went along a path in the middle of the jungle (primary and secondary forest) where we came across various animals (remember that it is not a zoo). At the end we met Alfredo, a man who lives in the middle of the jungle and he was very nice, he showed us his collection of fruit trees and rock music. We bathed in a river and went back along the path. A great alternative if you are looking for something less touristy and more personal.

Corcovado Jungle Tour

At 6 am, we'll meet next to the Drake Bay school and then drive for half an hour to the Corcovado jungle. Once there, we'll hike the main trail into the main forest. Welcome to Costa Rica's green paradise!

We'll walk 2.8 miles (4.5 km) to meet the inhabitants of the reserve, such as birds, spiders, and insects. Also, if we're lucky, we'll see the most beloved animal: the monkey! Did you know that 4 different types of monkeys live in this enclave?

Then, we'll cross a small bridge over the river and arrive at a waterfall. There, we'll have half an hour to take a dip in the natural pool and relax under the cascading water.

Afterwards, we'll replenish our strength with a picnic lunch consisting of bread, pasta, rice, fruit, and a dessert. Then, we'll walk to the botanical garden to admire the most exotic flora.

Finally, we'll return to Drake Bay and accompany you back to the starting point to conclude the excursion at 12 noon.

Una experiencia increible. Fuimos por un sendero en medio de la selva (bosque primario y secundario) en el que nos cruzamos con varios animales (recordad que no es un zoo). Al final conocimos a Alfredo, un señor que vive en medio de la selva y fue muy agradable, nos enseñó su colección de arboles frutales y de musica rock. Nos bañamos en un río y volvimos por el sendero. Una buenísima alternativa si buscas algo menos turístico y más personal. Translate this opinion into English.

Tenemos bien presente que la selva no es un zoo, es mas, quizá nosotros fuimos observados por los diferentes animales y por suerte muchos de ellos se dejaron ver. Varias aves, pavones, hormigas, monos y hasta una serpiente. Nuestra experiencia fue estupenda, una inmersión en la selva de Corcovado en un tour bien estructurado y privado, diferente a los tours para los turistas en masa. Emilio, nuestro guia estuvo todo el tiempo pendiente de todo y el colofón fue conocer a Alfredo un “hombre bueno” Translate this opinion into English.

We are well aware that the jungle is not a zoo, moreover, perhaps we were observed by the different animals and luckily many of them allowed themselves to be seen. Various birds, peacocks, ants, monkeys and even a snake. Our experience was great, an immersion in the Corcovado jungle in a well-structured and private tour, different from the tours for mass tourists. Emilio, our guide was aware of everything the whole time and the climax was meeting Alfredo, a "good man" Opinion translated. Show original.
