Nocturnal World of the Monteverde Ecological Sanctuary
Apart from birds sleeping in the canopy layer of the forest, you'll have the opportunity to see plenty of Tarantulas, snakes and gray foxes. There is no guarantee that you would spot all the animals, however, if you keep looking, you might get lucky. You will be sure to find some unique insects on the way. If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear a puma walking silently through the Monteverde Cloud Forest. The Night Walk Monteverde Tour offers a completely different experience than the day walks, giving you an opportunity to see a different side of the forest, full of unique creatures and interesting bugs. You will find out more about the flora and fauna of the area, with the naturalist guides explaining everything about how the darkness affects some species and how they developed different abilities to become nocturnal. Walking sticks and diurnal mammals can also be seen in the cloud forest at the early night.
