Description
The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve is one of the most famous reserves in Costa Rica, protecting 3500 hectares of precious tropical cloud forest.
On this guided night walk, your guide will lead you through the trails in the cloud forest reserve so you can experience and hear the sounds of the cloud forest all around you.
As the cloud forest reserve has mostly primary and secondary forest with no open pastures or previous farmlands, the trails and rainforest canopy are very dense, giving visitors the opportunity to truly immerse themselves in the nocturnal lives of the creatures that call the cloud forest home.
During this 1 mile long walk (1.6 km), your guide will stop and look for various animals like nocturnal mammals, insects and sleeping birds. Due to the vast size and dense cloud forest canopy cover, every night is different in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve!
