Discover the Hidden World After Dark

As the sun sets and day fades to night, the forest comes alive with new sights and sounds, revealing a hidden world that most visitors never see.  

This guided nocturnal wildlife walk takes you along rainforest trails after dark, where you’ll explore the forest by flashlight alongside an experienced naturalist guide. Moving slowly and quietly through the jungle, you’ll learn how to spot the subtle signs of wildlife activity while searching for species that are rarely seen during the day. As you explore the forest, your guide will interpret the sights and sounds of the nighttime ecosystem, explaining the behaviours, survival strategies, and adaptations that allow these species to thrive in darkness.

Whether you’re passionate about wildlife, fascinated by rainforest ecology, or simply eager to experience the jungle from a different perspective, this immersive evening adventure offers an unforgettable glimpse into Costa Rica’s extraordinary nocturnal biodiversity.
