Lodge Area & Rainforest Night Walk

Senderos de selva

A cluster of rainforest lodges on the north shore of the Laguna Grande. By day, trails reveal plant life; at night, flashlights reveal wolf spiders, frogs and other nocturnal animals.

More than ten rainforest lodges sit near the Laguna Grande. Most are raised wooden buildings with observation towers, powered by solar energy, with no internet or very weak connections. Land rainforest trails run from the lodges, where guides explain giant kapok trees, strangler figs and medicinal plants. Night walks reveal wolf spiders, glass frogs, stick insects and owl monkeys. Long sleeves and rubber boots are recommended (lodges usually provide the boots), and bring a headlamp and insect repellent.
