In Costa Rica, the rainforest at night turns to an spectacular show of natural life. This tour from the small town of Tigra shows you the country’s nocturnal wonders.
A hike during the night has its own charms, because the rainforest turns active. If you’d like to make the most of your stay in Costa Rica, this tour shows you the country’s nocturnal wonders. Starting from the small town of La Tigra, located just 30 minutes from La Fortuna, you will go through a patch of rainforest in the process of regeneration. Mirroring lakes allow you to observe the wildlife. Be prepared to immerse into the noisy rainforest and see species like nocturnal birds and mammals, insects, amphibians or bats.
The trail will go around the lakes to the frog sanctuary, an oasis where you can watch these creatures in the wild, at night, when they are most active. Here you will discover various species, such as the dart frog and the bull frog, the smallest and largest species in Costa Rica, as well as the spectacular Red Eyed Tree Frog, and the beautiful Glass Frog. When the tour is over, you’re just in time for a delicious Costa Rican dinner prepared on a wood burning stove. And what can be more delightful than enjoying your dinner with the lights of San Carlos Valley looming in from of you? After dinner, you will get back to La Fortuna.
