Our night jungle walk gives you the unique opportunity to see the nocturnal wonders of the Amazon rainforest. In deep darkness, surrounded by hundreds of jungle sounds and with the help of powerful lights, you enter a world inhabited by the most unique, diverse and shy creatures. Many animals, especially insects, amphibians and reptiles, hide from predators during the day. This means that nighttime is the best time to find beautiful tree frogs, shy snakes and other jungle creatures that only come out at night. From nocturnal monkeys to Poison Dart Frogs, from Tarantulas to Stick Insects, you never know what amazing creature you will encounter
