As the sun slowly sets over the Monteverde canopy, a mysterious atmosphere takes hold, and the sounds of the tropical forest intensify. It is in this privileged setting, at the heart of one of the most biodiverse regions in Costa Rica, that your nocturnal immersion begins.
The Monteverde cloud forest is world-renowned for its century-old trees and endemic species that only awaken once darkness falls. By observing the transition between day and night, you will capture the magic of an ever-changing ecosystem, guided by the expertise of your local guide who will reveal the secrets of the surrounding wildlife.
The highlight of this outing is the spectacular ascent of a majestic Ficus tree standing 40 metres tall. Illuminated from within its own hollow trunk, this tree becomes a unique natural light structure, offering a new perspective of the forest. Equipped with a harness and a helmet, you will safely climb through its intertwined roots to reach exceptional viewpoints of the canopy under the stars. To end this adventure on a high note, you will share a traditional campesino dinner.
The season runs year-round, offering different moods between the starry nights of the dry season and the misty atmosphere of the rainy season.
This activity is accessible to anyone in good physical condition from the age of 8. All technical safety equipment, including a harness and helmet, is provided and checked by your certified bilingual guides. To ensure a high-quality experience and optimal safety, each instructor supervises small groups, so that you can focus entirely on the adrenaline of the climb and the observation of nocturnal fauna.
