We spotted tonnes of cool animals and birds and Oscar had an awesome camera attachment to his scope that meant we got some brilliant pictures which he sent to us at the end of the tour. Would definitely book again if we came back.

Most Enjoyable Monteverde Cloud Forest Tour with Oscar - Honestly, you cannot get a better guide than Oscar. He is extremely knowledgeable and has great eyes and ears for spotting wildlife. We joined him for a morning cloud forest tour. He carried a great telescope and camera. Took about 70 amazing pictures of a male and female quetzals, bird nests, trees and a 🐍 and sent them to us at the end of the tour. Thoroughly enjoyable and felt fulfilled.

A highlight - Oscar our guide was so approachable and enthusiastic, dealing with all questions brilliantly for all ages. Excellent knowledge and some great spots on our walk including quetzals, guan, hummingbird birds on a nest and so many trees and flowers. Well worth the fee. Thank you Oscar!!
