Why January

January falls in the Caribbean slope's peak wet period, driven by northeast trade winds pushing moisture directly onto the Atlantic face of the Talamanca range. The Pacuare runs brown and at or near its seasonal ceiling — guided rafting operations can be suspended on the worst days, and trails into the reserve are frequently waterlogged.

What's possible this month
Raft the Pacuare at or near peak volume on days operations run — the river is at its most raw and least forgiving
Take a guided night walk through the reserve as January rainfall drives amphibian activity onto every trail
Spot poison dart frogs and glass frogs active on every wet surface in the reserve floor
Walk the suspension bridges on a clearing morning when the canyon walls stream with temporary waterfalls
