Explore
San Pedrillo is the northernmost gateway to Corcovado National Park. It features primary forests, coastal trails, and a jungle waterfall.
Access to San Pedrillo is easiest by boat from Drake Bay. This area draws fewer visitors than the Sirena sector, giving you a quieter forest experience.
You still need advance permits and an ICT-certified guide to visit this area. Boats require a wet landing, so expect to step into the ocean when you arrive.
