Sendero La Jungla (The Jungle Trail)
La Jungla Trail offers a 1 km trek through
a secondary forest offering beautiful landscapes,
various flora and fauna, and including many
opportunities to see the remarkably fascinating
different frog species of Costa Rica, for
example the red dart frog (dendrobates pumillo).
Inside the trail, among the abundant fauna
visitors may witness the 3 toed sloths and
see the different species of birds: Toucans,
Oropendola, Tanagers, Hummingbirds, kiskidees
and much more, squirrels, and the majestic
butterflies that swarm through the trail.
The creeks which appear during the trail,
add a crisp freshness to the air, yet more
importantly enable the reproduction of many
of the organisms living there. For example
these creeks create the perfect atmosphere
for the various types of frogs you will
encounter, allowing the perfect place for
egg laying.
You will witness the beautiful flora, such
as the epífites, orchids and bromeliads
as well as other ground level plants with
various sized leaves appearing in their
plenty. The different species of trees ranging
from young to old, small to large, serve
as homes to many of the creatures being
large mammals to tiny insects. These trees
as you will witness are also adorned by
the lianas that hang from the branches.
