As long as you're ok with bugs, definitely do it. - Erik was a very friendly guide who had a very keen eye for spotting all kinds of wildlife. Started with a brief history of the volcano and local climate before venturing into the forest where we spotted spider monkeys, snakes, spiders, bugs and frogs. Eric also helped us get the best photos possible.

Worthwhile - Walk was well organized with transportation to and from the site. The walk was mainly downhill and many insects, frogs, toads and a couple of snakes were discovered. The highlight was the red eye frogs at the end of the

Great nature after dark! - This was a great tour to see the nightlife in the area! Our guide Erik was friendly and did a great job spotting animals and coordinating with the other guide. We got to see many species of frogs (including several red eyed tree frogs!), multiple snakes and spiders, grasshoppers, a big toad, and even some toucans sleeping in a tree! It was raining when we went so may have made it harder to see some other kinds of wildlife, but we were more than happy with what we saw, and learned a lot!

If you understand what... - If you understand what comes out at night, this is a blast—snakes, frogs, spiders, and others. We are experienced hikers and we had a lot of fun seeing the jungle at night in the national parque!
