Short on time but still dreaming of Corcovado? Our LA LEONA adventure is the perfect alternative for travelers staying in Puerto Jiménez. Skip the long boat ride and explore one of the park’s most remote and wildlife-rich sectors on foot. Far from the crowds, this immersive rainforest experience offers incredible opportunities to spot monkeys, scarlet macaws, tapirs, and much more—all guided in small groups for a more personal and authentic connection with nature.
You will meet the guide at this spot, the day before the tour we will arrange guide’s name.
Embark on an early morning adventure from Puerto Jimenez with a 5:30 am departure (meeting point arranged in advance).

From Carate, begin a guided coastal hike of at least 10 km on mostly flat terrain, with stretches along the beach and crossings of clear rivers and creeks. Your naturalist guide will interpret the region’s rich biodiversity while you take in breathtaking landscapes. Wildlife encounters may include macaws, monkeys, toucans, frogs, snakes, and other rainforest species—so keep your camera ready. This full-day experience offers an immersive look at Corcovado’s ecosystems, combining rainforest and coastline in one unforgettable journey.
