Explore the Costa Rican jungle after dark on this fun and unique tour that takes you 131 feet (40 m) up into the forest canopy.

The adventure begins when you're picked up from your accommodations at 17:00 p.m. From there, you'll make your way to Monteverde, Costa Rica's Finca Modelo Ecológica.

At 17:30 p.m., your tour officially begins. You'll enjoy a 10 minute walk and have the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful sunset before your mission begins. Then, it's time for the exciting task of climbing a hollow ficus which is lit up on the inside. Don't stop 'til you reach the top — a canopy platform. If it's still twilight, you'll be able to enjoy a 360 degree panoramic view, in addition to the satisfication of having made it all the way up.

Your bilingual naturalist trail guide will lead you through the park and help you identify the mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and insects who call the forest home. You will learn why these particular species are suited for their nocturnal lives, and will have the opportunity to ask questions. The waterproof flashlight you are given will also help you spy creatures in your own time.
