Wildlife Around You
At Sabalo Lodge, wildlife is not something you search for — it finds you. Day and night, animals move freely between the jungle and the lodge. Some stay hidden, others appear just a few steps from your cabin or tent. These videos are real moments captured by our cameras and guests. No staging, no guarantees — just the jungle as it truly is.
Raccoon - Raccoon captured on camera trap at Sabalo Lodge
Camera trap footage shows a raccoon moving around the Sabalo Lodge area. It walks through the surroundings, searching for food and curiously exploring the space. In some clips, two individuals appear at the same time, possibly a pair. The video captures their natural behavior and subtle differences between visits.
Raccoons are one of the most common nocturnal visitors at Sabalo Lodge. These clever and adaptable animals move quietly through the jungle and often enter the living areas at night in search of food. They are curious, intelligent, and surprisingly confident around human structures. Although they are seen regularly, they remain part of the wild — always active, always alert, and never fully predictable.
Where: Sabalo Lodge; Osa Peninsula; Costa Rica
Tip: Raccoons appear almost every night at Sabalo Lodge. While they often walk through the living area, the best chance to observe them directly from your tent is in Tienda El Bosque. This tent is located opposite the bridge that raccoons use to cross from the jungle into Sabalo Lodge.
