Begin your adventure at the main dock in Tortuguero village. As you enter the forest, your local naturalist guide will attune your senses to the night: the rhythm of frog calls, the scent of wet leaves, and the glowing eyes hidden in the shadows.

With professional optical gear, spot nocturnal species such as red-eyed tree frogs, two- and three-toed sloths, boas, armadillos, owls, and many curious insects that awaken after dusk.

Enjoy a blend of science, storytelling, and sensory immersion. Your guide shares fascinating facts about animal behaviour, as well as local tales and legends that have been passed down through Tortuguero’s history — making the experience not only educational but also deeply cultural.

This is a small-group walk, ideal for travellers who want a more intimate and respectful connection with the rainforest. Before entering the trail, torches are tested for visibility, and a short safety and orientation talk ensures comfort for everyone.
