Don’t do it! - Transportation showed up twenty minutes late. Guide was walking so quickly he lost three of us on the hike in the dark. Saw one snake, one toucan. Could not hear the guide. He would start talking before group was together. They are trying to be like Monteverde Cloud Forest night hike. No comparison.
