Highlights
As dusk settles over Monteverde, the daytime animals bed down and an entirely different, nocturnal world wakes up. On this private night walk through the Monteverde Wildlife Refuge, your certified naturalist guide uses high-powered flashlights and a night-range spotting scope to track down sloths, kinkajous, tree frogs, tarantulas, walking sticks and sleeping birds along quiet forest trails. Reserve admission is included, so there's nothing extra to arrange. Please note: Transport isn't included but can be arranged on request — just ask before your tour. The trail depends on what the reserve has open that day and can't be guaranteed, as reserve changes are beyond our control.

About Monteverde
Monteverde is a mountain community in Costa Rica's cloud forest, known for misty reserves, hanging bridges, birdlife and coffee farms.
Monteverde is a scattering of farms and small villages on the Tilarán Mountains, around 1,400 metres up, where moist winds from the Caribbean wrap the ridge in cloud. Quaker families from the United States settled here in the 1950s and began dairy farming, and they helped protect the forest above. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve and the neighbouring Santa Elena Reserve preserve mossy trees, ferns, orchids and hanging vines.
