Sierpe is the river gateway to the Osa Peninsula, famous for its vast mangrove forest — one of the largest in Central America. This tranquil town connects travelers with pristine waterways, abundant wildlife, and direct access to the wild beauty of Costa Rica’s south Pacific.
From here, you can travel by boat through winding rivers to Corcovado National Park, or head offshore to Caño Island, renowned for its snorkeling and diving opportunities. Sierpe also offers peaceful mangrove boat tours, where you may encounter monkeys, crocodiles, sloths, and colorful tropical birds.
Whether you choose a full-day adventure in Corcovado, a marine expedition to Caño Island, or a slow-paced exploration of the mangroves, Sierpe combines convenience with rich biodiversity. With certified local guides, every tour becomes safe, authentic, and unforgettable.
