We had a fabulous time on our night walk. Orlando has a lot of knowledge and is passionate about sharing a piece of Monteverde with his guests. Really cool experience!

abril 14, 2022Our adventure with Orlando was wonderful. We started with a lovely sunset & rainbow from his yard. What a view! Orlando was very friendly and explained many things we found... read more along our hike. We especially liked the story about the leaf cutter ants and the tree! After the hike we were able to see and pet some of his farm animals. His pig Petunia is adorable. He shared bread with us, that his mother had made that night and drinks. A very nice and memorable evening for us.

mayo 15, 2021Orlando was very kind and knowledgeable. It was just my partner and I on the tour, probably due to questionable weather lol. He took us on a jungle trail around... read more his family farm, showed us some cool night creatures, and explained quite a bit about nature and the area.
Great chat, coffee and homemade treats to wrap up the tour! definitely recommended for a chill evening in Monteverde 🙂Yulia

marzo 18, 2022I went on this nightwalk with my family. We had the most wonderful time walking through Orlando's farm/land, even though it was raining. He supplies you with plenty of flashlights.... read more As we spotted little animals, he would look them up on his little guide book and tell us little tid bits about them. We spotted a forest mouse, several spiders, a scorpion, and several centipedes. We were on the lookout for a snake that he had seen several days prior, but unfortunately it seemed to have moved. He was thoughtful enough to show us a picture of the exact spot where he had seen it before. At the end of the small hike, you meet all of his farm animals and then finish up with a small treat (we had chocolate muffins) and coffee or tea. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience. I would recommend this if you're looking for a relaxed activity with a local who is truly proud of his land and the wildlife in it.

What you'll do?
We will begin with a relaxing walk in an open area, where we will witness a beautiful sunset that paints the sky with warm colors. This will be the perfect prelude before venturing into the mysterious night forest of more than 5 hectares at Bosque Finca El Paraíso.
Then, we will plunge into the darkness, equipped with lanterns that will allow us to explore without disturbing the amazing nightlife that Monteverde has to offer.
We will focus on the observation of various species of animals that are not normally seen during the day. From sloths and armadillos to porcupines, possums, coatis, bassaricyon (olingos) and kinkajous (hammers), you will have the opportunity to witness the wonderful biodiversity of the region.
