The last daylight in Monteverde can disappear while the forest is still full of sound. Insects begin calling, frogs become easier to hear, and an occasional movement among the leaves suggests that something has already started its evening activities.

A Monteverde night tour invites visitors into that change of pace. Monteverde Travel & Adventure leads small groups along private forest trails with local naturalists who know where to look for wildlife and how to make sense of the sights and sounds that emerge after sunset.

The Daytime Forest Hands Over to the Night Shift

Many birds feed and move through the forest during daylight hours, then settle into sheltered places as evening approaches. Their calls diminish, and the sounds of insects and other active animals become more prominent.
