Night Hike in the Gandoca-Manzanillo National Wildlife Refuge
Explore the Gandoca-Manzanillo Wildlife Refuge after dark and discover how the rainforest changes at night. As the daylight fades, a different side of the jungle begins to emerge—one filled with unique sounds, movements, and nighttime wildlife that are rarely seen during the day. Your guide, Shiloh, brings a deep, personal connection to the land, its history, and its ecosystems. Rooted in the local culture and environment, Shiloh doesn’t just lead the tour—he shares stories, insights, and knowledge passed down through generations, offering a more meaningful understanding of the area. As you walk through the refuge, you might encounter frogs, insects, mammals, and other nocturnal species, along with fascinating plant life that reacts to the darkness. It’s a quiet, focused experience that lets you tune in to the natural rhythms of the forest at night.
