This unique night hiking adventure is the only one of its kind within a National Park, located just 35 minutes from Panama City. The journey begins at 6:30 pm, transitioning from daylight to complete darkness at the entrance of Pipeline Road in Soberania National Park.

The road is composed of dirt and gravel. This tour offers a safe way to experience the sounds of the rainforest at night, with opportunities to see insects and exotic plants. While the tour is not specifically designed for animal sightings, there is a chance of encountering wildlife with some luck. Headlamps and ponchos are provided for all participants.
