Corcovado is often referred to as the most biologically intense place on Earth. The overnight tour is how you actually experience that — you sleep in the middle of the forest, hike at dawn and dusk when the big animals are on the trails, and see things you simply cannot see on a day trip.

What to bring

Hiking shoes, sandals for the boat, a change of clothes for day two, a lightweight long-sleeve shirt, shorts, sunblock, insect repellent, a flashlight, water, and your passport.

Booking the park permits

Park permits are reserved in your name at booking. We need your full name and passport number at the time of reservation.
