Sirena is the most visited of the five ranger stations in Corcovado National Park with basic services such as lodging and food for tourists (with a reservation). It is also where a large amount of scientific research is undertaken, so it is imoprtant to reserve ahead if you plan on staying overnight.
The tour begins with an approximately 1 hour 15 minutes boat ride. During your ocean journey you may see dolphins and possibly whales, depending on the time of year.
Once there, you will walk approximately 4 hours through trails around the station and it is possible to see a lot of flora and fauna. This is probably one of the best places to see mammals in danger of extinction such as the tapir, white-lipped peccaries, monkeys, as well as many other species.
