À vivre

Sirena Station, located within Corcovado National Park, is a unique and remote site offering total immersion in one of the most pristine and biodiverse rainforests on Earth.

Sirena lies at the heart of the park, making it an ideal starting point for exploring the depths of the jungle. Access is mainly by boat from Drake Bay, or on foot via one of the demanding trails through the forest. It's especially popular with hikers and nature lovers seeking a wildlife-watching experience in a wild, remote setting.

Advance booking is essential to stay at Sirena, as visitor numbers are limited to protect the fragile ecosystem. The park also enforces strict rules regarding waste and wildlife protection.
