Rainforest Frogs

Q: Where is the best place to see Rainforest Frogs?

Braulio Carrillo National Park. In Braulio Carrillo National Park, Costa Rica, the chance of seeing all 4 (red-eyed tree frog, strawberry poison frog, green-and-black poison frog and glass frog) on the same day is under 5%, the highest of the 4 parks where all of them live, and over a three-day visit it rises to about 30%. Next come Arenal Volcano National Park (under 5% a day), La Amistad International Park (Panama) (under 5% a day) and Tapantí-Macizo de la Muerte National Park (under 5% a day). It multiplies each animal's daily chance, as if they were independent, so read it as a rough guide.

Q: Which of Rainforest Frogs is hardest to see?

Glass frog. In Braulio Carrillo National Park, the best park for Rainforest Frogs, about about 10% of wildlife watchers report the glass frog on a given day, against about 80% for the strawberry poison frog. The hardest one decides how many days you need.
