Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Night wildlife safari in the Amazon rainforest
Puerto Maldonado · Peru
About this experience
When night falls in the Amazon forest, a guide leads you out with torches. The beam picks out the eyes of caiman, frogs and insects among the leaves, and the forest fills with sounds you never hear by day. It is a tense, patient hour of watching.
Closed shoes, long sleeves and insect repellent are essential. Seeing animals depends on luck, and following the guide's advice and keeping quiet improves the odds.
