A low beam cuts a silver line through damp leaves as the forest exhales around you — frogs answering in clicks, an olingo slipping like a shadow in the canopy, the path damp under careful steps. The 2‑hour night hike at Finca Lantana guides small groups onto purpose-built trails through a biological corridor that links private reserves with Monteverde’s protected cloud forest.

Wildlife
History
Finca Lantana sits within a mosaic of private reserves and public parks that formed as Monteverde’s conservation movement expanded in the mid‑20th century, preserving cloud forest fragments and wildlife corridors.
Conservation
Groups are kept small and guides emphasize staying on trails and minimizing light and noise; supporting local reserves helps maintain corridors for migratory and nocturnal species.
Reserve your spot on the 2 Hour Night Hike by Finca Lantana Monteverde today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Bring a backup light
Guides provide lanterns, but carry a headlamp or extra flashlight in case of battery issues or to navigate transfer trails.
Wear grippy, closed‑toe shoes
Trails are narrow with roots and mud; hiking shoes or trail runners with good tread reduce slips.
Stay quiet and steady
Nocturnal animals are easily disturbed — slow movement and soft voices increase chances of sightings.
Expect wet, cool conditions
Even short rain showers are common; pack a light waterproof and protect electronics.
Headlamp or compact flashlight
Hands‑free light helps you see footing without disturbing wildlife more than necessary.
Waterproof jacket or poncho
Short, sudden rains are common; a lightweight waterproof keeps you comfortable during the walk.
