Fantastic tour through the cloud forest - We loved our tour through the cloud forest with Mauricio! He was so knowledgeable and passionate about all of the native plants, animals, birds, and insects that we saw. We managed to see spider monkeys, a quetzal, and several other species of birds and mammals, and learned so much about the cloud forest and all of the flora and fauna there. We would’ve never spotted many animals or learned so much without Mauricio. We booked the small group tour but it ended up just being our group of three plus our one year old, who he was very patient with! We thought Mauricio was one of the best guides we’ve had in Costa Rica and highly recommend him and Three Brothers tours. Note: Make sure to fully read instructions on how to buy cloud forest reserve entrance tickets at the parking lot and then proceed to the entrance up the road by car/shuttle to meet your guide.

A fantastic experience! - This was a fantastic tour! Elbert was a superb guide who showed us so many fascinating things, few of which we would have been able to spot ourselves. He was extremely informative and enthusiastic, and clearly loves the forest. Thank you Elbert!

And birds, especially several gorgeous quetzals. He has the sharpest eyes imaginable. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon in a magnificent place with the best guide.

A great experience with Mauricio! - Our guide was Mauricio and he was wonderful! He was incredibly knowledgeable. He managed to spot and show us two quetzals, in addition to many other birds, plants and insects. We even stumbled across a pack of wild pigs! We did the 1:30 pm tour as the earlier ones were sold out. I would recommend going as early as possible. And if you are unable to secure an earlier time, it would still be beneficial to arrive early, walking and exploring on your own beforehand. We made the mistake of relaxing in the morning and not getting to explore outside of the guided tour, as the park closes at 4:30 pm.

Great educational experience seeing wildlife in a natural environment - Our trip to Montverde Cloud Forest was wonderful! It was our favorite excursion. It was less crowded than Playa Manuel Antonio National Park and focused more on education. They have plaques for you to read throughout the park, but I highly recommend hiring a guide. You will definitely need one to help you find the wildlife. We hired Three Brothers. Alexander was our guide, and he is very well-versed in the area's plants, animals, and history. He also helped us take photos of the animals we found by placing our cameras in front of his telescopic lens, so we took home some great pictures. Go early in the morning. You will need the time to see everything. The suspension bridge and hummingbird feeding area are great to see.

Amazing - We had a great tour! Our guide was so knowledgeable and we saw so many birds and learned a lot about the forest that we wouldn’t have been able to do without a guide. He even had a telescope to get up close pictures of the birds and took pics with our phones!
