Awesome Nature Walk in Primary Forest Led by Eduardo

joubertca, Jun 2024

My wife and I were led on the daytime nature tour by Eduardo who was the best guide we had during out eight days in Costa Rica. He took us on a 3-hour tour of their unspoilt, primary forest. This included the butterfly house with an amazing collection of the colorful creatures. He delighted in showing us frog eggs, heliconias, bromeliads, rubber trees, birds, indigenous practices, leaf-carrying ants, and so much more. We marveled at his deep knowledge of the flora and fauna in La Fortuna, having grown up there. After the tour, we were fortunate to cross paths with two families of coatls in the forest below the ziplines.

Itinerary

  • Arenal Mundo Aventura

    As the sun sets, many animals turn in for the night, but other mammals, insects, and amphibians begin their activity, taking advantage of the night to hunt for food. They communicate, protect their territory, and attract their mates all using a variety of sounds. 

    With lanterns, we will walk quietly through the Gallery Trail, where will search for amazing frogs like the red-eye tree frog (Agalychnis callidrias), the milk frog (endeoterodacthillus), giant hunting frogs like the smoky jungle frog (leptodactylus pentadactylus) and poisonous and non-poisonous snakes like the Fer de Lance (bothrops asper), pit viper (bothriechis schelige), and blunt-head tree snakes, among others.

    With a little luck, we will also be able to spot a few mammals like sloths, kinkajou, and armadillos.  Speckled Owls, Mottled Owls, and Pygmy Owls, are among the bird species that will delight bird lovers. And don’t forget the enormous variety of insects that are commonly observed in these trails during the evening.
