In the realm of the night - rainforest tour in the dark
When the sun goes down and silence falls over the rainforest, a new chapter of jungle life begins. On this guided night hike, you will experience the mysterious world of tropical wildlife up close: glowing insects, silent hunters, rustling leaves and unexpected encounters. By torchlight, Costa Rica reveals its wildest and most fascinating side. The tour naturally takes place with an experienced guide and is well organised - for a safe and authentic experience. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers and anyone who loves the unknown. Suitable for adults and children aged 6 and over.
First highlight
Welcome and introduction
In the late afternoon, you will meet your local guide at the agreed meeting point. After a brief introduction to the programme, safety instructions and the special features of the nocturnal wildlife, your experience begins.
Second highlight
Experience nature by torchlight
Together with your guide, you will discover frogs, spiders, insects, sleeping birds, nocturnal mammals and, with a bit of luck, even snakes or sloths. Your guide will explain the background to the animals' way of life and behaviour - a fascinating insight into the ecosystem and the sounds of the forest will accompany you throughout the tour: rustling, chirping, croaking - an impressive concert of nature. The beam of your torch will reveal details that remain hidden during the day.
