Santa Lucía Falls Night Hike Tour
2 HoursAbout this tour
When the sun goes down, the jungle reveals a world of its own. On this two‑hour night hike, you’ll follow trails lit only by the low‑impact lanterns we provide—plus sturdy rubber boots—to explore clearings where tree frogs and bright‑eyed toads come alive. Your guides will teach you to identify each amphibian’s call and share tales of snakes and nocturnal mammals that emerge under cover of darkness. You’ll move in silence, pausing at carefully chosen spots to listen and observe without disturbing the forest. At the end of your journey, enjoy a light snack to refuel before returning. Just wear comfortable clothes; we’ll handle the rest.
