Dare to explore the rainforest after sunset? Join us for an unforgettable Night Hike in the world-renowned Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary, just a short 35-minute drive from Hopkins Village. This is your chance to experience the jungle in its most mysterious and thrilling state—under the cover of night.
While spotting a jaguar is the ultimate dream (and yes, this is the world’s first jaguar preserve), it’s the journey that truly captivates. You’ll likely encounter kinkajous, coatimundis, opossums, foxes, and agoutis quietly moving through the forest. Keep your eyes peeled and your flashlight ready; scorpions, snakes, spiders, and other fascinating nocturnal critters often make an appearance. Your guide will share stories, identify animal tracks, and help you see and hear what most visitors never get the chance to.
