Discover Costa Rica’s fascinating nocturnal wildlife on a guided night walk at a wildlife sanctuary located just 25 minutes from San José. This unique after-dark experience allows you to explore the forest when many of its most elusive residents become active, offering a completely different perspective on Costa Rica’s biodiversity.

Accompanied by knowledgeable local guides, walk along forest trails while learning how nocturnal ecosystems function and why nighttime plays such an important role in wildlife behavior. Depending on conditions and natural activity, you may spot frogs, owls, insects, spiders, moths, fireflies, and other species that emerge after sunset. During certain seasons, you may also observe amphibians such as glass frogs, tadpoles, or tree frogs, all within a protected and educational environment.

This experience takes place at a wildlife sanctuary dedicated to conservation, environmental education, and the protection of native species. Rather than a zoo-style visit, the night walk emphasizes respect for wildlife, ethical observation, and awareness of Costa Rica’s fragile ecosystems. Guides share insights about animal behavior, conservation efforts, and how visitors can responsibly observe wildlife during the rest of their trip.

The walk is conducted at a relaxed pace, allowing time for observation, questions, and photography when appropriate. Flashlight use is controlled to minimize disturbance to the animals and ensure a respectful experience for both wildlife and visitors.

Perfect for nature lovers, families, and travelers seeking a meaningful evening activity close to the city, this guided night walk is an excellent way to experience Costa Rica after dark while supporting conservation and environmental education—without traveling far from San José.
