Update: Los Patos to Sirena
Nice adventure post DebP! Here's an update for those who want to follow in your footsteps, since November 2009 hikers must have a guide with them on the Los Patos to Sirena trail. I can fully recommend a local Osa born biologist Ballardo Diaz, of Jaguarman's Jungle Adventure. He educates you as you trek, as well as cares for your safety. You can find him at his FB fan page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jaguarmans-Jungle-Adventures/203977601764
