Most hotels in Drake Bay offer trips to the rangerstations in Corcovado.

we want to do a hike with the two of us, without any tour.  
we are going to travel from san jose to drake bay by bus and boat. after drake bay we want to take the boat to la leona. from there start walking to sirena ranger station. I have read about all the possibilities to take the boat to sirena and start walking from sirena to other villages. but we want to take the boat to la leon and then start walking to sirena.  
don’t see anywhere information about this possibility.

who knows more about this option?

Greetz, nivita

Dear Monofeliz,

are you sure that hiking without a guide through corcovado is not possible. On this same forum there is a long description about hiking without a guide in corcovado.  
who has experience with hiking in corcovado. we are fluying this thursdy to costa rica and we would like to have some correct information.

In the National Park Corcovado it is not allowed hiking without a guide.  
It is because several people never came back from their hike and it cost the gouvernement a lot of money looking for you in that big park.

Do we need to hire a guide in advance for hiking in Corcovado?  
Where can we do that? we want to sleep one night in corcovado, do we need to arrange this in advance?
