About This Adventure
There’s an entire universe beneath your feet. Our Macro Fauna Walks — covering insect walks, fungi trails, and herping sessions — reveal the miniature marvels of nature. From jewel-toned beetles and camouflaged spiders to monsoon mushrooms and stealthy geckos, every trail offers new surprises. Depending on the season, we tailor the walks to what’s most visible — fungi and arthropods in the rains, reptiles and spiders in drier months. With macro lenses and expert guidance, you’ll discover beauty in the smallest forms.
