The Forest After Dark—A Truly Unforgettable Tour

The Santa Elena Night Hike was one of the most unique and exciting experiences of our trip. Exploring the cloud forest after dark was a completely different perspective—quiet, mysterious, and full of surprises. Our guide, Alex, was outstanding. He had an incredible ability to spot wildlife in the dark and was so knowledgeable about the ecosystem and the behaviors of nocturnal animals. We saw frogs, insects, sleeping birds, and even a kinkajou! Alex made the experience both educational and adventurous, with a great sense of humor and an obvious love for nature. If you’re in Monteverde, this night tour is a must-do!

Don’t do it!

Transportation showed up twenty minutes late. Guide was walking so quickly he lost three of us on the hike in the dark. Saw one snake, one toucan. Could not hear the guide. He would start talking before group was together. They are trying to be like Monteverde Cloud Forest night hike. No comparison.

Night Walk

Interesting walk with numerous animal sightings. Darkness brings a different feel to the forest. This was a good experience.
