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.

Rafael was amazing! He answered all of our questions and we managed to see everything we wanted! Toucan, sloth, hummingbird, frogs, scorpions, snakes, stick insects, bats. The tour lasted around 2 hours and we were in a small group with only one other person which made it super personable.

Rafael, a very attentive and pleasant guide. He found and taught us several animals and gave us information about them.

Rafael was an amazing guide! He was very informational about all the animals we saw. We saw a rare bird (can’t remember the name), a toucan, snake, frogs and monkeys! He was also very personable and had a great sense of humor! Highly recommend this tour as the check in process was also very easy! Thanks Rafael!

My friends and I had a tour with Rafael and he was absolutely wonderful! We didn’t know very much Spanish but his English was amazing. He also was able to spot so many different animals and insects that we would have never been able to spot by ourselves.

We did the night tour with Rafael and it was a success. With patience and humor we saw poisonous parrots, scorpions, tarantulas and even a possum. All great.

Our guide Rafael was amazing. We saw a sloth, and a baby sloth, a boa constrictor, and learned so much about the rain forest.
