We are the only company that offers an authentic night hike inside the Rainforest, at the base of the majestic Arenal Volcano. We are also the only local company certified as Family & Kids Friendly, ideal for all ages.

Accompanied by an expert naturalist guide who will make this experience educational, safe and fascinating. We will explore the trails of Mirador El Silencio, one of the best areas of La Fortuna, in a privileged environment for its proximity to the volcano.

We will look for emblematic frogs such as the hourglass frog, Blue Jeans frog, bullfrog and red-eyed frog. In addition, you will be able to observe exotic insects, snakes such as the tab viper, Velvet, Stone Hand and coral snakes. With any luck, we'll also see sloths, possums and anteaters.

To enjoy this experience safely, it is essential to use closed shoes, as we walk along nature trails in the middle of the jungle.
