After the 60 minute drive to the wildlife sanctuary, headlights will be distributed to each person. First we fuel up with a hearty local dinner, followed by a briefing of the hiking trails.. The hike is around 2 hours long where you will have the chance to see tapirs, howler monkeys, river otters, 5 species of wild cats and many more. Various types of frogs, snakes and the morlet’s crocodile are prevalent in this area as well. After a short break, we collect river tubes and head to the river for night river tubing!
