Derek England recommends AdvenTours Puerto Rico.
April 11, 2023 ·
Hilda is amazing!!! She was able to accommodate a tour for my family of 12 people at the last minute. She
arranged a guide and transportation. My whole family agreed that the night time walk through the El Yunque rain
forest was the highlight of our trip. We loved seeing the frogs, lightning bugs, snails and hearing the laughing owl.
This was a fantastic trip. I highly recommend it to anyone.

| * Night hikes at El Yunque National Forest since 2001 * |
| . |
| . |
Explore the trails of El Yunque and you will have the unique experience of seeing glow in the dark bacteria, insects, microorganisms, and mushrooms in their natural environment. Our target species are newborn coquis, glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, lizards, critters, and the cocubá. |
| We need at least three or four consecutive days of rain to be able to find glow in the dark mushrooms. |
| Depending on selected hike and the elevation of the trail, we will be going through different habitats. As soon as night arrives, the musicians of the nocturnal orchestra of the Forest will start playing and the singers will greet you with with their songs. But wait, were these the first and only sounds the europeans heard when they arrived in Borikén? Listen careful to the rythm of the maracas, ocarinas, and mayohuacan. |
| People ask, do you really see baby coquís during the hikes? Yes, we do! |
| Our unique nocturnal sounds bath night walk followed by an Ancestral Areito El Yunque National Forest |
| What is better than a normal daytime forest bath? |
| Join Richard, our Master Guide Imagine yourself growing over 1,400´ above sea level, with exposed buttress roots helping you to stabilize on unstable soils near river banks and steep cliff edges? The shallowness of the soil makes you the dominant species at this height of the Forest. But you are not alone, other trees, plants, and shrubs have adapted, including your two friends: the old trees with red crooked bark and those tall tress with a strong distinctive fragrance. We will be looking at everything: from small flowerless bryophytes, elegant giant tree ferns, diminute newborn coquis, glow-in-the-dark mushrooms, bats, owls, and any other critter. Where we go? Palma de Sierra, Moun t Britton, Los Picachos |
