Description
As night falls in El Castillo, La Fortuna, the rainforest reveals its most intimate and quiet side. Away from commercial tourism, this easy, guided walk introduces you to a protected habitat where darkness comes to life. Here, hundreds of native fireflies illuminate the surroundings in perfect, natural synchronicity. Accompanied by a local guide, you will discover the behavior of these bioluminescent insects while walking under the jungle canopy. It is an authentic, peaceful, and respectful evening experience designed for those seeking to connect with the true nocturnal essence of Arenal.
