Sirena Station

Sirena Eastern Crossing:

TWO nights in Sirena with circuit hike from Los Patos-Sirena-La Leona (southern entrances)

About the hike from Los Patos Station:

For folks in the Puerto Jimenez area, this is the way to go for you.
The Los Patos Station is the eastern entrance to the park accessed from Guadalupe – 7kms from La Palma which is the closest main town on that end of the park.
Depart Puerto Jimenez in the early morning and travel to La Palma or Guadalupe where you will begin walking from the small village of Guadalupe near the Guaymi Indian reservation and it is a wet three-hour walk from Guadalupe to the ranger station, as you cross the Rincon River many times.
Taxis are available for this journey during the dry season. The actual La Palma ranger station is about 45 minutes inside the park from the boundary.
Continue on from here to Sirena. (Los Patos to Sirena: 20km, 12.5 miles, 8 hours approx.):

This is an inland trail traversing steep ravines and primary forest.
It is mostly flat for the last 15 km, but the first 5km after the Sirena River traverses several ridges with steep climbs and descents.
River crossings include the Sirena and Pavo Rivers. Approximately, it is a 8 hour hike.

About the hike from Sirena to La Leona Station:

Sirena Ranger Station to La Leona Ranger Station Trail (16km, 10 miles, 6 hours approx.):
This is a hot beach hike requiring careful timing in regards to river crossings and tides.
There are a few rocky outcroppings you can either cross over at low tide or look for a trail that goes inland around the rocks.
The trail goes inland and parallels the beach under the shade of the forest canopy as you approach the La Leona Station.
Always keep an eye out for crocodiles when crossing the rivers.
It is approximately a 6 hour walk.

As you leave Sirena you will first cross the Rio Claro and continue walking on the beach for a little while until the trail picks up again under the shelter of the forest to Salsipuedes. After Salsipuedes, you will walk on the beach for 40 min – 1hr. to La Chancha Point. When its high tide, look for the short trail that crosses inland, but when its low tide you can walk on the beach. Cross the La Chancha river (it’s very small), and after the river, walk on the beach again for 30 minutes or so. When its high tide, there are lots of rocks—try to cross here a at low tide too.
The trail picks up again in the forest and it’s another 6km to La Leona. You can walk on the beach from the Madrigal River to La Leona at low tide if you want. Trail ends at the station.

Includes for 2 people or more:

Round-trip transport from Puerto Jimenez to the starting point in Guadalupe (closest town to Los Patos) and from La Leona (Carate) to Puerto Jimenez at the end of the trip

Dinner for 2 nights
Entrance fees for 3 days
