Hike through Monteverde Wildlife Refuge after dark on a guided walking tour that reveals how nighttime transforms the tropical forest. Since dusk brings out a mix of diurnal and nocturnal animals, you might see completely different creatures than in a day time visit. Provided flashlights and the guide’s powerful spotting scope are great for finding wildlife you might otherwise miss, from tree frogs to sloths and jewel-toned birds.

Oscar was an amazing guide whose knowledge, experience and enthusiasm made this a must tour. Having such a guide is a must for seeing the hidden creatures and learning a great deal about the forest.

Fascinating tour with local guide

Oscar is a great guide: knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly. We really enjoyed our night walk and saw a surprising amount of animals, different snakes, birds, some insects, and a sloth mum with baby! Oscar provided torches and has a scope through which we could see things close up, and he took great photos for us. We also looked at the moon through Oscar's scope which was amazing! He knows a lot about fauna, flora and the history of Costa Rica. Definitely recommended!
