Are there more animals at Sirena?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: We only do tours to San Pedrillo because we believe it is a better experience for our guests. San Pedrillo is primary rainforest whereas Sirena is secondary. San Pedrillo offers an old growth environment which is what people would expect to see in Corcovado, enormous, rare tree species and undisturbed forest. The scenery there is unbeatable with majestic waterfalls and rivers.
Most tours from Drake Bay go to Sirena because the trails are completely flat and easy for people of all physical conditions to do. Any blog that says the Sirena Station has more wildlife than San Pedrillo is outdated and misinformed. There are just as many animals in the San Pedrillo sector as Sirena with the added benefit of also having less humans touring there every day!
What to expect from the Corcovado National Park
Corcovado is the most exclusive national park in Costa Rica with the strictest rules and limitations on how many people can enter, who can guide tours, and activity protocols. Only a select list of local guides are allowed into the park, and the stations are boat access only. These rules and protocols have saved many critically endangered species on the Osa Peninsula from extinction. This conservation success is an example of the measures that must be taken to save and bring back rainforests and their inhabitants. Up until recently, it was very difficult to spot any large wildlife like a tapir due to overhunting and habitat destruction on the Osa Peninsula. Now, the tapir sightings are part of what makes the Corcovado National Park so attractive for tourism.
The Corcovado National Park is an incredibly special place precisely because it is a wild and undisturbed rainforest. The fact that it is so exclusive and has such strict regulations helps to ensure that it remains that way, providing a haven for critically endangered species and allowing visitors to witness nature in its purest form. While it's true that there's no guarantee of specific animal sightings, visitors to Corcovado can appreciate the beauty and wonder of the rainforest as a whole, and the chance to catch a glimpse of some of its incredible inhabitants is truly a bonus.
