🌙 Night Walk in the Rainforest
Private Trail at Lost Iguana – A Nocturnal Jungle Experience
When the sun sets, the rainforest awakens in a whole new way.
Step into the heart of the jungle on this 1.4 km (0.9 mile) private trail, located on 56 hectares of pristine rainforest. As daylight fades, the forest transforms—revealing a symphony of sounds and movement. This is your chance to explore Costa Rica’s nocturnal wildlife up close in a peaceful, natural setting.
Our trail weaves through both primary and secondary rainforest, offering glimpses of a rich variety of species that only emerge at night. Natural water wells and humid zones have been specially designed along the path to attract frogs, reptiles, and other amphibians. And with fifteen small bridges of varying heights and lengths, the trail offers a quiet and atmospheric journey through the treetops and forest floor.
Led by a passionate naturalist guide, your walk becomes a window into the hidden world of the night:
🦥 Sloths, kinkajous, olingos
🐍 Snakes and lizards resting or hunting
🕷️ Tarantulas and insects of all shapes
🐸 Frogs and toads calling from the dark
…and the unforgettable soundscape of the nocturnal jungle.
This experience is not just a walk—it’s a deeper connection with the magic of the rainforest after dark, guided by soft lights and expert eyes.
