  For our family of four (two adults and two tweens), the overnight stay at Sirena Ranger Station in Corcovado National Park was the ecoadventure of a lifetime. We would all highly recommend this incredible experience and, further, we would strongly suggest that you book your tour through Pacheco and request Alejandra as your guide. If you’ve been considering an overnight stay at Sirena, you have probably realized that all of the tour groups stay in the same (beautiful) bunkhouses at the ranger station, eat the same (delicious) food in the same (clean) dining areas, use the same bathroom facilities, and— for the most part— even share the same boats to get from Bahía Drake to Corcovado. Given all of this, you may wonder if it really matters which tour group you join. In our experience, it matters a great deal. We are incredibly grateful that we chose Pacheco. Pacheco’s group sizes are limited to six people; while we were at Corcovado, we noticed other groups of ten or more. This absolutely makes a difference when you are trying to move quietly and inconspicuously along the trails to see as many animals as possible. It also matters when you do find an animal and you are sharing your guide’s spotting scope to get a good look. In all of these situations, smaller groups definitely make for a better experience. We got extra lucky in this regard— our group ended up being just our family of four! We also ended up with a truly extraordinary guide, Alejandra. Her insights, kindness, and enthusiasm made every part of our experience at Sirena better. When she introduced herself, Allie told us that she practices ethical guiding. She will never leave a trail in order to help her groups get a better look at an animal; instead, she relies on her knowledge of and attention to the rainforest to ensure that her groups have the best possible animal interactions. In our experience, her technique was not only respectful of the animals and their environment; it was also extraordinarily successful. Allie helped us have more quality interactions with bucket-list animals than we could possibly begin to count. We saw everything that we had hoped to see, and much more. Her knowledge of the human rhythms at Sirena was equally important to our experience. At the beginning of our tour, Allie explained that she was familiar with the schedule that most tour groups kept during their time at the ranger station and that, by tweaking that schedule just a bit, she could significantly improve our experience. She was absolutely right. Thanks to Allie’s timing, we almost never encountered another group during our time on the trails— it felt like we had the entire park to ourselves, and, as a result, we saw more animals and had extended “private” experiences with them. She also made sure that we never waited in line for a meal and that we were the very first people to shower after the restrooms had been cleaned. All of these little details added up to create the best possible Sirena experience— and they were all thanks to Allie’s expertise. The overnight stay at the Sirena Ranger Station in Corcovado National Park is a bucket-list, unforgettable experience no matter what tour you join. You should absolutely go. If you want to see Sirena in the very best possible way, book your tour with Alejandra through Pacheco.

  Brilliant 2 days 1 night. Tiring walking in the heat but 100 percent worth it. Our guide Marlon was excellent, very passionate and enthusiastic about wildlife and it shone through. We managed to see ant eater, wild boar, 4 different types of monkey and a tapiar swimming amongst many other things.
