? Full Description

Your adventure begins at the designated meeting point near the Manzanillo rainforest. As night falls, your naturalist guide leads you into the darkened jungle, where the sounds of frogs, insects, and rustling leaves create an entirely different atmosphere from the daytime forest.

During the walk, your guide helps you spot hidden nocturnal wildlife—such as frogs, snakes, lizards, and unique insects—using professional equipment that enhances visibility in low light. As you observe these creatures up close, you’ll learn about their behaviors, habitats, and ecological importance within Costa Rica’s biodiverse rainforest.

The walk is designed to be immersive but accessible, lasting about 2 hours. Flashlights and equipment are provided, and rubber boots can be arranged if needed. This tour focuses on responsible wildlife observation and helps travelers experience the forest in a respectful and educational way.
