Operated by The Night Tour with Tracie The Bug Lady · Drake Bay, Puntarenas
Rain-softened soil, the hush of the rainforest and a beam of light cutting through leaf litter set the scene for Tracie “The Bug Lady” and her nocturnal walk in Drake Bay. The guide’s voice threads natural history with quick humor as the group pauses to watch a bat make tight, darting arcs or to peer through a Swarovski scope at an emerald-eyed tree frog. The trail moves deliberately—slow steps, keen eyes—and the forest responds: insects hum, frogs call, and the canopy seems to lean in.
