This excursion is an excellent opportunity to observe a large amount of biodiversity since 87 percent of the fauna is active at night, confident in the poor visibility that darkness offers them.
In a normal visit there is the possibility of observing; two-toed sloths, nine-banded armadillo, owls, rain frogs and on some occasions we can observe a kinkajou or a green palm viper in addition to a large number of very interesting insects such as, for example, a stick insect, leaf insect; Sometimes we can find scorpions, tarantulas and much more.
Throughout the tour you will be accompanied by a naturalist guide ready to share with visitors many of the secrets of the forest.

We had the BEST night tour with Rafael! He was so knowledgeable and kind and patient with all our questions and requests. Seems like he really loves his job and has a keen eye for spotting tiny cool things in the cloud forest. We saw so many beautiful and interesting animals. Sloth, tarantula, viper, ant colony, frog, bioluminescent scorpion exoskeleton and butterfly eggs, and even a handful of sleeping birds like a toucan and a guan and a trogon. We highly recommend Rafael - we plan to go out with him again on this short trip!!

The number of animals spotted by Rafael during the group night tour was astonishing! He could find tiny mimicry using stick insects, tarantulas, vipers, scorpions, sleeping hummingbirds, toucans, agouti and even an armadillo! His involvement and deep knowledge, as well as his energy, humor and good vibe, made us to book another tour with him, a private experience this time. And again, we were impressed! Highly recommended, true nature enthusiast and a cool person.
