FLYING FROG: AN INCREDIBLE DISCOVERY IN THE RAINFOREST


If you're looking for a thrilling and unforgettable experience in Costa Rica, look no further than our rainforest tours! Our expert guides will take you on a journey through some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in the world, where you'll encounter rare and fascinating wildlife that will leave you in awe. And one of the most exciting discoveries you'll make is the Ecnomiohyla bailarina, also known as the Golden-eyed Fringe-limbed Tree Frog or Flying Frog!


In 2022, after several hours of hiking and hard work, a group of biologist were rewarded with the sight of one of the rarest and most incredible frogs in Costa Rica. It was an afternoon where the sun was setting and the sound of insects signaled the approach of night. They heard the vocalization of this elusive and difficult-to-find species, and it gave them hope that they might be able to observe it. The Ecnomiohyla bailarina is a challenging species to find, as it can be found up to 20 meters high in the canopy of trees, with incredible camouflage and behavior that makes it difficult to spot.


But with the help of our Stanley Salazar, who discovered this species in Costa Rica and has contributed greatly to our understanding of its behavior, they were able to observe it once again. The Ecnomiohyla bailarina is an endemic species to Costa Rica and Panama, and its ability to jump from the canopy or middle parts of vegetation has earned it the nickname of "Flying Frog". Although it can't fly, its limbs allow it to glide and cushion falls, which disorients predators and makes it an incredible sight to behold.
