You walk along a forest trail near the beach and cross two big rivers, Rio Madrigal and Rio Claro. At Sirena you can pitch a tent or stay in a dormitory. During your trip, you will spot monkeys, the tapir, poisonous dart frogs, snakes and the puma.
Rainforest Trail - You will hike on the beach until the river Carate, then you will hike up hill and pass the houses of the gold diggers, who extract gold from the river to make a living. You will pass the rainforest, then up to the mountain ridge. In the mountainous forest you will find howler monkeys, and birds like curassows, scarlet macaws, toucans, trogons, tanagers, honeycreepers, warblers, hummingbirds, and falcons. You will also see giant native trees of the area like the garlic tree, nísperos, run-ons, kabobs, and cedars.
Addionally, you might be lucky to spot the turtles on the beach lay their eggs and nest. Turtle nestling starts from September to December. If you are able and observe this rare natural wonder, the hosts are welcome to provide you with interesting facts about the different turtle species that exist in the Osa Peninsula and their importance for the ecosystem. For example, in the Pacific Ocean, there are 4 different species of turtles: the Hawksbill sea turtle (eretmochelys imbricata), the leatherback turtle (dermochelys coriacea), the green sea turtle (chelonia mydas) and the olive ridley turtle (lepidochelys olivacea). They are an endangered species so the tour focuses on educating and informing the guests on the importance of preserving these turtles.
