This is a loop trail which involves both jungle and beach hiking. Park your car at the restaurant at Rincon Beach or have a taxi take you there and start your hike on a well marked trail through a beautiful primary rain forest towards the San Pedrillo PN Corcovado Station. This portion of the trail is in very good shape normally and will bring you right to the national park border at the hotel casa corcovado. DO NOT ENTER the park if you dont have a prior reservation, but walk on the path to your right down to the beach. at the end of the beach you will go up the rain forest again and eventually go down again. be aware this part of the trail is not very well marked. you will come down a ridge again and walk along a rocky coastline to the rincon beach and eventually are back at the restaurant.
