Overview

Explore Monteverde’s rainforest after dark on a two-hour small-group walk led by a local naturalist guide. Search the trees and forest floor for nocturnal wildlife such as two-toed sloths, frogs, sleeping toucans, owls, armadillos, kinkajous, snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, and stick insects. Sightings vary because all wildlife is wild. A rechargeable flashlight is provided, and your guide uses a professional HD spotting scope for detailed observation and smartphone photos when conditions allow.
