Simply the single best way to spend a night in Costa Rica, or anywhere in the world! Peter has built a unique place, and has kept it unique by not mass producing and making it too easy! Even though I'm scared of heights, I got both up and down fine with help from our great guides. There was also a heavy rainstorm at night, but I never felt unsafe in the treehouse. The cloud touched the trees at times and the rainforest lived up to its name, but we still saw lots of monkeys, even a throwing fruit and branches fight between howler monkeys and spider monkeys on the tree next to the treehouse! Furthermore we saw a white falcon, tucans, parrots, parakeets, and on the trek we saw an eyelash viper, three different poison dart frogs and plenty of cool bugs! Good binoculars and species books are available in the tree! After almost a month in CR I can safely say Peter was the best wildlife spotter I had the pleasure to encounter. Some people say it is if it is a bit expensive, but you get both a tour, a dinner and an overnight stay that you will remember for the rest of your life. In addition there is a true care for nature and native rights in this company! I will surely book two nights if I get a chance to come back!

Tarantulas Way

Visit the tarantulas way with me together at night to explore the rain forest from Cahuita. Bird-eating spiders, frogs, bats and many insects with warranty. Listen the night sounds of nature on a leisurely stroll through a Zoo without fences. This is certainly an exciting and enjoyable experience for your vacation.

Tour starts at 11:00 am. Patricia, the guide is intelligent, knows the flora and fauna around the area. Anyone can tell that she loves her job, the wildlife and the plants. She eagerly plays a question and answer game about the plants at the beginning of her tour, she is always trying to impart knowlege to her customers in a fun way. It is a great way to see the wildlife up close, the customers are not allowed to touch any of the animals, as the rescue center is always trying to rehab the wildlife to go back to the jungle. But, you are allowed very close to the animals to watch them. Patricia says that the government has laws against the possession of wildlife. When the government finds someone who has possession of a wild animal, the government comes in and confiscates the wild animals from the people that have them in their possession or in their homes. But the government doesn't provide any money to help feed and take care of the wild animals and birds. Patricia has a heart for people, animals and beautiful plants. Go See the Sanctuary!!
