This area is home to the Tapir, one of nature’s largest and most elusive animals. As you stroll along the forest trails—paths often used by Tapirs for resting and bathing—you’ll encounter an incredible array of wildlife: frogs, birds, insects, butterflies, lizards, snakes, spiders, and more. Many forest creatures, including the Tapir, are most active at night, making this walk a perfect opportunity to experience the rainforest’s vibrant nocturnal life.
Nestled at the base of the Tenorio Volcano, this nature walk lasts 2 hours and offers both morning and afternoon tours.
