The Glass Frog & Hidden Giants Quest
When the sun sets, Mindo’s true predators and wonders emerges. While standard night walks stick to gravel paths, we take you deep into the living heart of the Andean Chocó. This is the premier nocturnal expedition for those seeking the rare, the transparent, and the exotic.

Macro-World Mastery: Discover the forest’s "aliens," from giant Stick Insects and cryptic Tarantulas to glowing Scorpions under UV light.
Pro-Gear Advantage: We provide high-lumen tactical flashlights and expert guidance on how to spot eye-shine like a pro.
Photographer's Dream: Our guides are trained to help you get the perfect macro shot without disturbing the wildlife.

5.00I was a bit early so I could enjoy the surroundings already, that was nice. The tour itself was great, saw a lot of animals and our guide knew everything. He really has a good understanding+knowledge about the ecosystems and the animals that live in there. From reptiles, to frogs and insects
A lifelong memorable experience

5.00One of the most impressive and unique experience I've had traveling. The guides are passionate and knowledgeable. Boots and headlights are supplied for an even safer experience. Up close contact if you choose and the extensive list of cool animals include but definitely not limited to the endangered glass frog, other frogs, bioluminescent spider, kinkajou, stinging caterpillar, plate-sized tarantula (guide will confirm your comfort before looking for the den), scorpions, andean crickets, etc.
Nature at night!

5.00Good activity. We spent just over 90 minutes on the trail where a number of nocturnal creatures, mainly insects, were pointed out. Despite pouring rain and only two of us in the group, the organizer did not cancel on us. We appreciated their vast knowledge about The natural elements in this area. The only suggestion I have is to clarify the starting point as we had a taxi drop us off at the wrong location, however we were able to contact the organizer through WhatsApp.
Great way to spend an evening in Mindo

5.00Lovely knowledgeable family/guides. They went out of their way to find cooperative creatures. The wife/mom went down into the swamp with a flashlight immersing with a glass frog for us to examine up close!
Unique and cool thing to do!

5.00Wonderful experience. Our guide, Neri, was great and we saw some really cool things. They gave us boots and flashlights, etc. so we were all kitted out. I got to hold the really mean looking, but gentle and sweet, scorpion spider!
