Walk Monteverde’s Finca Lantana after dark with a local certified guide and a group of no more than 10. You may spot frogs, snakes, tarantulas, walking sticks, leafcutter ants, sleeping birds, opossums, porcupines, or olingos. Choose a 6 PM or 8 PM start. Guides such as Dio, Sergio, and Vladimir have helped make past walks memorable.

“What an amazing start to our trip! Our guide did an incredible job of finding all the little night critters. Grateful we chose the 8pm time as that gave him the opportunity to scout animals during the 6pm tour and he knew what to look for. Flashlights provided which was helpful. Thank you!!”

“Ale (Alejandra) Rojas was our guide and she was excellent. Great overview and insight of Costa Rica’s rich history while walking downtown sites. The food choices were plentiful and delicious and we enjoyed trying the local craft beers. She also gave us great tips on authentic food brands at a local market. Definitely recommend her and this tour if you want to know more about the culture and cuisine of Costa Rica.”
