Discover the wonders of the cloud forest at night with a walk around the reserve surrounding Casa Divina Eco Lodge, in the company of a specialized guide!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an opportunity to connect with the atmosphere around you, hear the sounds and observe species such as frogs, insects and spiders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ser\u00e1 una experiencia emocionante, segura y tambi\u00e9n relajante para poder sumergirte y conocer de cerca este maravilloso bosque nublado del Choc\u00f3 Andino declarado como Reserva de Bi\u00f3sfera por la (UNESCO).<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nocturnal species play an important role in the balance of the cloud forest and learning about them helps us understand the importance of conserving these ecosystems.<\/strong> On an excursion we can learn, for example, that insects such as moths pollinate plants and flowers and ensure their reproduction and are also food for other species. Amphibians also control insect pests, which contributes to maintaining the balance of the cloud forest.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between a night walk and a day tour?<\/b><\/h5>\n

En una caminata durante el d\u00eda se pueden observar m\u00e1s aves y tal vez mam\u00edferos. El clima puede ser m\u00e1s caluroso, aunque tambi\u00e9n con lluvia. Pueden durar m\u00e1s tiempo, dependiendo del lugar que se recorra, por ejemplo: nuestro tour desde Casa Divina al Santuario de Cascadas<\/a> puede durar entre tres a seis horas.<\/p>\n

On a night walk you can observe other species that are more active such as insects and amphibians.<\/strong> As it is done around the Casa Divina reserve, it can be shorter, between one and two hours. The weather is cooler at night and can often rain.<\/p>\n

Generally, the excursion takes place after dinner on a flexible schedule. Most of our passengers have dinner at 7pm and leave for their tour at 8pm until 9 or 9:30pm.<\/p>\n

Is it dangerous to do a night walk in the cloud forest?\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h5>\n

No. The hikes we offer are always accompanied by a guide specialized in the fauna and flora of the area and take place within the private reserve of Casa Divina.<\/strong> The guide can identify any species that may be harmful and alert the group. In general, the hikes follow previously established trails in the surroundings of the cloud forest which have some lighting as well.<\/p>\n
