Ecoterra Costa Rica Nocturnal Natural Experience & Dinner
This tour is ideal for all those who want to discover the nocturnal wonders of Costa Rica. We will begin
with a 30-minute drive to the town of La Tigra, where we will meet the Mendez Family. This traditional
Costa Rican family lives off the land and dedicates part of their property for the natural regeneration of
plants and animals.
On the property, we will take a 600-meter trail alongside a small patch of regenerating forest with water
mirrors that facilitate the observation of nightlife such as birds and nocturnal mammals, insects,
amphibians, bats, and more.
We will walk around the water mirrors until we reach the frog sanctuary, where natural regeneration
and reproduction of these species occurs. The sanctuary receives its name due to the large number of
frogs that can be observed, like the hammer frog and the bullfrog which are the largest and smallest
species in Costa Rica, in addition to the beautiful red-eyed tree frog, and the spectacular little glass frog.
After the tour is over, a delicious traditional Costa Rican dinner prepared over a wood-burning stove
awaits and it will be accented with the nocturnal lights of the San Carlos plains. After dinner, we will
take the transportation back to La Fortuna.
