This tour is very educational and the first of its kind in Latin America, where besides specifying on these mammals’ behavior and habits, it also deeply details in an entertaining way their biology, importance, and impact of bats in nature as well as for human beings. The exhibition has eight bat species that conform to a total of 85 bats, rescued in the Monteverde area. This place also has a special recording and speaker system to listen to the real live sounds, known as “echolocation,” emitted by bats.
