After dark, this riverside belongs to frogs, insects, and reptiles. A slow walk by headlamp with a guide who knows the night shift.
As the sun sets and the forest awakens with a chorus of nocturnal sounds, a unique experience begins: an intimate walk along the riverside that reveals Costa Rica's hidden nighttime world. Guided by a specialist in nocturnal wildlife, you'll move at a slow pace, illuminated only by the soft glow of a headlamp.
The gentle murmur of the river and the song of insects become the soundtrack of the adventure, creating an atmosphere unlike any daytime tour. During the walk, you'll have the chance to observe frogs, insects, reptiles, and other creatures that come alive after dark, while learning about their ecological importance and the conservation efforts that protect them.
This is not a rushed activity, but one of observation and wonder, an opportunity to sharpen your senses and connect with the natural rhythms of the wild.

Around twelve years in Costa Rican tourism. On the drive between Guanacaste and Arenal he points out how fast the landscape and climate change, and shares the history of both regions along the way. His picks: the Palo Verde boat safari and Rincón de la Vieja's Pailas trail.
Twenty years guiding Costa Rica as a general and naturalist guide, with a special passion for botany: he points out plant adaptations, ecological relationships and the quiet work that trees, flowers and lianas do in the ecosystem. His favorite day is Palo Verde, where wildlife, tropical wetlands, cultural traditions and history meet — and the birdlife is spectacular.
Twenty-two years in tourism, from restaurants to tour sales to driving and guiding. Místico is his favorite trail: rich in wildlife, easy to walk, and full of the forest's secrets. On transfers north he loves the moment the dry Pacific crosses an invisible line into rainforest green.
