We started with a lazy morning and an afternoon bridge tour through a second-growth forest which was a little disappointing, partially because there were no fish, and partially because it was second-growth which isn’t as dense or interesting. The highlight was a screech owl that looked directly at us with unblinking eyes.

That evening we went on a second night tour, in the Children's Cloud Forest this time, with a very enthusiastic guide who seemed just as excited about finding things as we were. We got to see a porcupine in a tree, an agouti, more orange-kneed tarantulas, a roosting toucanet (impersonating as a green fuzz ball) as well as many insects including a scorpion, a walking stick, both leaf-cutter and army ants, and the coolest one of all, a click bug. They are also called “headlight” bugs because they have two brightly glow-in-the-dark spots on their backs that look like car headlights.
