We took a boat from Bahia Drake to the Sirena station, spent the night, and took a boat back the following day. As soon as we landed on the beach at Sirena, a Tapir came by, took a massive shit in front of us, and walked off. Everyone was impressed.

Monkeys (spider, howler, squirrel); didn't see any capuchins, but they're there

This was super cool. It's a rainforest, so you potentially can get soaked, and there's mud everywhere. We got pretty lucky, though: it only rained hard at night, and the rain mostly stopped when we went out to look for stuff. You pay $$$ to come here, but there's a lot to see. Recommended!
