Timeline
16:54
Contact Otorongo Expeditions to arrange a guided walk. The reserve requires a guide for access to the trail system and jungle huts.
17:09
Begin the guided trail walk through the Terra Firme forests. Head toward the drainage system of Quebrada Piedral where the light filters through the primary rainforest canopy.
17:39
Find a spot near the small jungle huts or along the trail to watch the golden light begin. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting long shadows through the trees.
18:08
Stay for the sunset at 18:08. The fading light offers a quiet end to the forest experience before the jungle night sounds begin.
