What To Expect

Ficus Trails

Discover the hidden treasures of the tropics’ most endangered habitat, the Cloud Forest. Only 2% of the world is a Cloud Forest. Join our Specialized Naturalist Guides in a Nature Quest. A journey that will take you into the Cloud Forest right after the sun sets in the horizon, and the darkness reveals the magical world few human eyes have ever witnessed. Every day at 6:00 p. m. and for approximately two hours you may experience the magical transformation that occurs within the heart of one of the most biodiversed forests in the world at Ficus Trails. At this time in the forest the protagonists are the animals that live in this habitat, where you can see some birds sleeping, as well as the nightlife of animals like some mammals that go out to eat at this time. Transportation, flashlights and Bilingual Naturalist Guides are always available. Closed shoes, light poncho, long pants, jacket and camera are highly recommended.

Great experience, we got to immerse ourselves in the nocturnal life. We were open to see whatever nature decided to offer us, and were rewarded with some pretty cool wildlife. We got to see a glass frog, tarantula, scorpion, Mexican porcupine and just as we were finishing up, our awesome and knowledgeable guide Mauricio spotted a Keel Billed Toucan perched up on a branch. I was not expecting that one for sure but a very welcome sight nonetheless.
Very knowledgeable guide....

Wow, what a fantastic night tour!! Olman our guide was amazing, so knowledgeable and eyes like a hawk at spotting wildlife in the dark! We saw so many animals and insects, glass frog, tarantula, possum, armadillo and lots of other insects! Olman gave us all of their correct names and a little bit about them and how they live/what they eat. Would definitely make the time to take this tour, you don’t regret it, fantastic experience!!

Excellent tour. The tour guide was fantastic and clearly enthusiastic about the rainforest and the animals in it. His ability to pivot based on the animals and conditions that evening was impressive. He helped us see the animals through a scope and helped us take good photos on our phones, which was a nice bonus! We saw frogs, birds, spiders, and heard even more animals.
Great for kids.

Very knowledgeable guide. Loved the small group atmosphere. Saw many things, including a tarantula, frogs, sleeping toucans, bats, various insects, and even a sloth! Hike was moderate; the pace is slow so it’s very doable for most but it’s probably not suitable for those with mobility challenges. For us, it was just the right amount of “adventure” but not so much that we had to focus on the ground instead of the wildlife. Absolutely would do again!
Very informative
