Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to enter Corcovado?

Yes, a permit is required to enter Corcovado National Park, and access is only allowed with a certified guide. Since visitor numbers are limited to protect the park’s fragile ecosystem, it’s important to book your guided tour of Corcovado in advance. If you join an organized tour from Uvita, the permit is arranged for you by the tour operator, so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork.

Why do I have to provide my passport number?

You must provide your passport number when booking a Corcovado National Park Tour because the Costa Rican government requires it to issue your entry permit. This rule helps regulate the number of visitors and protect the park’s delicate ecosystem. Tour operators submit this information in advance to secure your spot, ensuring a smooth check-in process on the day of your visit.

What is the duration of the Corcovado Tour?

The Corcovado National Park Tour typically lasts a full day, with a total duration of 8 to 10 hours, depending on weather conditions. The tour usually starts at 7AM in the morning with a boat ride from Uvita, followed by several hours of guided hiking through the rainforest, where you can spot wildlife and learn about the park’s ecosystem. After the exploration, you’ll return to Uvita by boat in the afternoon.

Is the tour suitable for all fitness level?

The Corcovado National Park Tour is a moderately active adventure that involves hiking on uneven terrain, high humidity, and warm temperatures. While the tour is suitable for most people, it may not be ideal for very young children, elderly travelers with mobility issues, or those who have difficulty walking long distances. If you are traveling with kids or have specific concerns about fitness levels, let your tour operator know in advance. Some routes may be more accessible than others, and guides can adjust the pace to accommodate different needs.

How many people will be in my group?

Group sizes for the Corcovado National Park Tour typically range from 6 to 10 people, depending on the season. To protect the park’s delicate ecosystem and ensure a quality experience, visitor numbers are limited, and each certified guide can take a maximum of 10 guests. If you prefer a more personalized experience, some operators offer private tours, allowing for a smaller group or even a one-on-one guided adventure. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during the high season.

What should I bring for the tour?

For the Corcovado National Park Tour, it’s essential to come prepared for a day of hiking in the rainforest. Make sure to wear closed-toe shoes—such as sturdy hiking boots or sneakers—as entry in flip-flops, sandals, or open-toed shoes is not allowed. Park rangers have the authority to deny access to the park, even if you have a ticket, if you don’t meet this requirement. Be ready for an adventure and pack lightweight, breathable clothing, insect repellent, a rain jacket, and plenty of water to stay comfortable throughout the day.

Is food and water provided during the tour?

During the Corcovado National Park Tour with us, we’ve got you covered when it comes to food and hydration. A delicious lunch is included at the end of the tour, where you can enjoy a satisfying meal after a day of exploring the rainforest. We also provide water on the boat and during lunch. However, each participant is responsible for bringing their own water bottle for the hike. It’s important to stay hydrated while trekking through the park, so be sure to bring enough water for the trail. We’re here to make sure you’re well-fed and refreshed throughout this incredible adventure!

What is the cancellation policy?

We understand that sometimes things may not go as planned, which is why we encourage you to review our full cancellation policy to ensure you’re fully informed. You can find all the details regarding cancellations, rescheduling, and refunds by visiting the link above. This will help ensure a smooth and stress-free experience when booking with us.

What is the best time of year to visit Corcovado?

The best time to visit Corcovado National Park is during the dry season, which runs from December to April. During this period, the weather is generally sunny and warm, making it more comfortable for hiking and wildlife spotting. However, the park is open year-round, and if you’re looking for fewer tourists and a lush, green landscape, the rainy season (May to November) also offers unique opportunities to explore, with the park being quieter and teeming with vibrant plant life. Keep in mind, the trails can be slippery during the rainy season, so proper footwear and preparation are key.

Our team is always happy to help and provide the information you need to make your experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
