Marenco Beach & Rainforest
Lodge
Corcovado National Park (San Pedrillo
Station):
This full day tour, accompanied by a resident
biologist, begins right after breakfast. A short 25 minute boat trip from
Marenco´s landing takes you to San Pedrillo Station, the northernmost
ranger station of Corcovado National Park. After disembarking, there is a
walk of about an hour along the beach, to a forest trail up the Rio Pargo.
Once more the rain forest story unfolds before you. The trees in this area
are magnificent in height and support an outstanding variety of epiphytic
plants such as orchids, bromeliads, ferns-even shrubs and small trees.
Monkeys, agoutis, sloths and other critters will entertain you. By noon,
the tour returns to the beach to enjoy your packed lunch in the shade of a
mango tree while watching the surf. Then a short walk; the San Pedrillo
river ( time to get our feet wet) brings you to a pristine rain forest
waterfall. As always keep your eyes peeled for beautiful birds and
secretive wildlife. Kingfishers and Jesus Christ lizards are residents of
this river. In late afternoon, we board the boat for return to Marenco.
