Esteban was very accommodating and is extremely knowledgeable about birds and wildlife. We went on a morning birding tour with him and it was my teenage son’s favorite activity of the whole trip. We saw quetzals, toucans, bellbirds and many others! Esteban was patient and helped us to get pictures to document and remember our wonderful day.

Once the sun sets in the Costa Rican rainforest, we start hiking and looking for exiting species of animals while the jungle takes on a totally different character. It goes from a green cathedral-like forest, where beautiful shining blue morpho butterflies fly along small rivers, to a pitch-black jungle, filled with the sounds of millions of insects and dozens of frogs & toads. It is the same green fascinating forest, but now it´s dark and you are ready to go find what’s out there! It’s the best time to find, observe and photograph beautiful tree frogs, shy snakes, colorful insects, mammals and other rainforest creatures that only come out at night. The beautiful symphony of a tropical rainforest at night is one of the most exiting experiences; turn off the lights for a moment and listen to all the secret sounds. Be aware, it is quite an adventure to be in the rainforest at night.

We learned so much more than the fascinating process of the growing and refining of chocolate on our short hike through the rainforest. Juan, a very well educated naturalist, taught us about the unbelievable health benefits of cacao, the pollination of vanilla, medicinal plants, coffee making (and brewing methods), extracting sugar from sugarcane and creating our own drinks and chocolate concoctions. This tour was an unexpected highlight of our vacation! No one should miss it! It was fun, educational and eye opening. And don’t worry....we don’t think Juan really used his old sock for our coffee filter????????????

Such a great experience!! And a BIG shoutout to our guide, Marvin! We saw two types of sloths, three types of monkeys, frogs, iguanas, butterflies, and more! It was definitely worth the price and definitely made our experience in the park much better. I would definitely recommend it. We got great pictures and learned so much. My group was young adults, but this would be great for all ages.

We visited Monteverde and decided to take a guided tour of Curi-Cancha and then visit the Monteverde reserve on our own. Good decision! Herbert was an exceptional guide with an broad and deep knowledge of birds, mammals, plants and even the history and future of the area. I attempted Spanish but his English was too good to make my efforts worthwhile. We learned a ton and spotted multiple birds including bell birds, toucans, and several quetzales (male and female). Amazing. There is a separate area for hummingbirds where Herbert gave us good tips for filming them in flight. He was also really skilled at capturing great photos through our iPhone cameras via the scope that he brought along. After the approx 2.5 hours of walking through the beautiful park like reserve, we stopped with Herbert at the local crafts co-op, coffee house and dairy where we had ice cream and bought fresh cheeses. This was unplanned but Herbert graciously waited while we shopped a bit and enjoyed coffee tasting. High recommend this adventure.
