After breakfast at the Tent Camp, you'll board a boat for a 25-minute ride to the San Pedrillo Station, the northernmost ranger station of Corcovado National Park.
 

An hour's walk along the beach, led by a local naturalist guide, brings you to a forest trail up the Rio Pargo. Enormous primary growth trees dripping with epiphytic plants, such as orchids, bromeliads and ferns are numerous in this area.
 

The quiet of the jungle is occasionally broken with the guttural bark of howler monkeys, the shrieks of scarlet macaws and the rustle of agoutis in the bush. Sloths make their slow way among branches overhead. The rainforest canopy creates a cool environment for hiking well-groomed trails.
 

A midday we'll have lunch under the shade of a mango tree on Llorona beach allows you to enjoy the hiss and boom of the surf while resting from your morning's expedition.
 

The next leg of the adventure is a walk up the San Pedrillo River, leading to a rainforest waterfall great for a cool dip.
 

Keep your eyes open for exotic birds and small wildlife. Kingfishers and Jesus Christ lizards are residents of this river.
 

The park is home to cougars, jaguars, ocelots, and giant anteaters, all endangered species. Four species of monkey live in the trees overhead: the howler, white-faced capuchin, spider and squirrel monkey.
 

The park also protects the largest population of scarlet macaws in Costa Rica. As macaws mate for life, they usually fly in pairs. You'll see their brilliant colors displayed against the green of the forest.
 

In late afternoon, with senses heightened, we board the return craft to the Tent Camp.
 

If you are thinking about taking only one tour while you are in the Corcovado area, this is the one to take!
We promise you won't regret it.
