The Amazon rainforest is an absolute wonder for all of the senses. Walls of vibrant green surround you, fresh dewy scents hang in the air, and an orchestra of birds sing from dawn to dusk, but when the sun fades behind the hilltops, the magic isn’t over. A large percentage of life, from birds and mammals to unique insects and reptiles make their living at night, and a whole new world opens up to those who are willing to explore after dark.

A guide will take you along trails, illuminated by flashlights and headlamps, and you are sure to find many things that you could never find during the day, including many species of frogs, neat insect life, and with some luck, nocturnal birds and mammals as well! You can also go for a Night-Time Canoe Excursion You’ll go out with the guides in canoe with a spotlight onto Garzacocha Lagoon to spot caimans, bats, owls and more.
