Join me in exploring the cloud forest from a different perspective, a night walk is a unique and unforgettable experience. Costa Rica is a small country in Central America that is home to around 5% of the world's biodiversity. Most animals in Costa Rica are nocturnal. If you like mammals such as sloths, and armadillos, active birds such as owls, amphibians, reptiles, and many insects, then this is the opportunity to carry out an outdoor activity and learn more about the nocturnal behavior of many species of flora and fauna. It is an easily accessible route of around 2 kilometers, and the ‘jewels’ of the cloud forest shine brighter at night. With luck, we will even be able to observe the famous bioluminescent mushrooms. the place where I do the night walk is very close to the center of Monteverde Santa Elena, it takes only 5 minutes by car. Let's wait for you to observe how the cloud forest comes to life at night.
Any questions or concerns you have, I am here to help you.

5.00Felix was fantastic, kind knowledgeable and enthusiastic to show us the habitat and species he is so passionate about. He asked our 17 year old daughter what she wanted to see (frogs) and went out of his way to find them for us. We all really enjoyed the experience and my daughter even commented that he was an excellent guide. We paid for a private tour and Felix took some fabulous photos using his scope and the features of our camera we didn’t know existed!! Thank you Felix
Personable and knowledgeable guide
