Jaco: Nighttime Jungle Walk with Bonfire Dinner and Pickup

Fun night time tour with lots of critters and a waterfall

The booking process was easy and we were able to communicate with the company through what's app before we got to the excursion (which was really helpful.) My partner and I booked really last minute (joining some of our fellow conference going friends in Jaco) and the hosts were really accommodating to us and waited for us to arrive there, as opposed to starting without us. Yari, the park manager welcomed us at reception and was playing music for us. Lucia welcomed everyone with the traditional Chile Guaro drinks at the beginning of the tour. Our guides for the night were Luis, Chris, Deibyn, and Lucia. Although, initially I was hoping to see some sloths and monkeys on the tour. I unfortunately, did not but I did have a fun time observing and interacting with different critters in the jungle (a beautiful blue butterfly🦋 that was attracted to our flashlights and followed us for a good 5 minutes briefly landing on some of us, a large centipede that I held in my hand, a tarantula 🕷️, a beetle, 🪲a cicada, and some frogs/toads🐸.) I was able to get into the pool of water at the end of the trail where the waterfall was and take some photos next to it with my friends. We also saw some fish and crawfish inside the pool. When we got back we got to have a bonfire with a traditional Costa Rican spooky story accompanied by the experience of roasting giant marshmallows. We also got a big bonus because we were allowed to ride one the horses that was there on the farm. If you were limited on time or money that you had to use on excursions, I wouldn't make this a top priority. However, I don't think there's that many excursions that you can do at night, anyway, so if you're looking for a fun little adventure, it'll work. P.S. Luis was funny and he was my favorite! 😜

Chocolate Tour Standard #2: Lunch Included without transportation

Great, highly recommended.

Juan explained and showed us the plants and the process very well. The experience was very good, the chocolate at the end of the process was very good, and the same for the coffee and the agua de sapo.

Great tour!

Juan was an amazing guide! Would highly reccommend. We tasted yummy chocolate and coffee. As well as a delicious Costa Rica cocktail.
