The great visit of the Monteverde Cloud Forest with Rafa - An incredible visit from Rafa, an amazing guide who taught us about all the possible animals in the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Quetzal, hummingbirds, monkeys, tarantulas and hundreds of amazing bird and plant species. His explanations were super interesting and entertaining. A piece of guide for all your tours in Monteverde. We also did the night tour with him, and it was even better. In short, a great guide who cares about the client seeing as many animals as possible and super friendly. Thanks Rafa.

Beautiful - Rafeal made this tour amazing, he’s very knowledgable and made sure we all saw the different breeds of birds and plants and explained the meaning behind everything. He had his binoculars handy and made sure everyone in the tour had a chance to see the different scenes and took some great pictures!
