Description
Experience the rainforest after dark on a guided night walk near La Fortuna, where the jungle becomes most active. As the sun sets, you’ll explore forest trails that reveal a completely different side of Costa Rica’s wildlife, sounds, and atmosphere.
Led by a knowledgeable bilingual guide, this night tour invites you to slow down and observe the hidden life of the rainforest. Using flashlights and expert spotting techniques, you’ll search for nocturnal creatures such as frogs, insects, reptiles, birds, and other species that are rarely seen during the day. Every walk is unique, shaped by natural conditions and animal behavior, making each experience different and authentic.
The tour takes place at ANURA, a privately managed ecological reserve undergoing active restoration. Along the walk, your guide will share insights about rainforest ecology, regeneration processes, and the importance of protecting natural habitats. Rather than a scripted experience, this tour focuses on real observation, learning, and respect for wildlife in its natural environment.
Designed for small groups, the walk offers a calm and personal atmosphere, allowing time for questions, photography, and quiet moments to listen to the forest come alive. The trail is safe and accessible, making the tour suitable for families, curious travelers, and nature lovers of all ages. Flashlights are provided, and the pace is relaxed to ensure comfort and safety throughout the experience.
Located just minutes from La Fortuna, this night walk is ideal if you want to explore Costa Rica’s biodiversity beyond the typical daytime activities. Whether it’s your first time in the rainforest or you’re returning with a deeper interest in nature, this tour offers a meaningful way to connect with the tropical ecosystem after dark.
