When the sun falls asleep, most creatures wake up to live. More than 80% of mammals, most reptiles and amphibians and also insects and arachnids are active at night in our forests, that’s why walking through the forest at night is not only doing an unusual activity in our lives or learning in the forest.
At night it is when fascinating animals such as sloths, kinkajous, bats, tarantulas, snakes, frogs, among others, are more likely to see, without forgetting the birds, yes, most birds are active during the day, but They need to rest somewhere. in those cases when we could also have the opportunity to see some beautiful and still birds while we dream, such as toucans, warblers, hummingbirds, jays, etc.

Amazing night walk - An amazing tour with a great guide. Jean Carlo really worked hard to find us as many sightings as possible, and even went above and beyond to help us get pizza after the tour. Great young person starting his own business. Definitely please support him, you won't be disappointed

A great walk in the very dark jungle - A wonderful tour through the night jungle with plenty of wildlife and a unique experience walking through the night forest. Our guide, Pablo, was very knowledgeable about so much of the jungle and pointed out things we would have never otherwise seen. Highly recommend this tour with Pablo!

Great Adventure with Jean Carlo - We had two fantastic tours through Monte Verde/Curi Cancha and the Wildlife Refuge with our tour guide Jean Carlo. We chose the Night Tour & the Morning Tour, what we can definitely recommend. Jean Carlo is an excellent experienced bird expert and besides that a great guy and he provided us with a lot of interesting information about the animals and the local nature itself. He showed us a great variety of animals around. Beyond that, he also supported us with further recommendations around Costa Rica and contacts, which was super helpful.

Super kind, knowledgeable, and sharp-eyed tour guide Jeancarlo - Jeancarlo took us on a night walk in Curi Cancha. Thanks to his sharp eye, we saw a LOT of wildlife, but the highlight was definitely the kinkajou that we got to observe foraging.
