The hike to San Pedrillo Station will take you through one of the most ecologically diverse forests in the world.

This tour departs from Sierpe and you will enjoy a 30-minute hike to the San Pedrillo station in Corcovado National Park. The hike covers 1.8 miles (3km).

There are over 400 types birds in this dense, leafy forest. Your guide will help you look for them. There’s also a good chance that you’ll see several different types of monkeys, and army ants that cut a ferocious path through the forest.

On this hike, you’ll get to see the San Pedrillo Waterfall, which has a plunge pool where you can swim. As you walk, your guide will point out some of the area’s interesting plants. Indigenous peoples use The “Leche de Vaca” tree to cure ulcers. You’ll also see the Walking Tree, which is a type of palm that can grow new vertical roots if it gets knocked over, thus giving the impression that it “walks” across the jungle floor.
