With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Varagua Caecilian sighting in Arenal Volcano National Park on a given day, based on 9 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 33rd most-seen of the 39 amphibians we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 40%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, May–June, September and November–December
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Varagua Caecilian in Arenal Volcano National Park on a given day, against under 5% in January, March–April, July–August and October, the lowest months.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Varagua Caecilian sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Arenal Volcano National Park, in our data
Arenal Volcano National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Varagua Caecilian sightings: about 10% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Varagua Caecilian is recorded against all the amphibians logged in Arenal Volcano National Park (9 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
