Your nighttime adventure begins with pick-up from your hotel in La Fortuna, followed by a short scenic drive to a private rainforest reserve near Arenal Volcano. As darkness falls, your guide provides flashlights and leads you through the lush trails where nighttime creatures awaken.
Listen to the sounds of the forest come alive: croaking frogs, rustling leaves, and distant calls from hidden wildlife. Along the walk, your guide will help you spot species such as tree frogs resting on leaves, glass frogs perched near water, cane toads, sloths resting on branches, and a variety of nocturnal snakes.
You’ll also learn about the rainforest’s plant life — orchids, bromeliads, mosses, and trees that thrive in humid tropical environments.
