Monteverde with Marcos - We spent 3 activities with Marcos. He was an excellent guide who helped us get some immersive knowledge on the plants, animals and birds of Monteverde. We thoroughly enjoyed these activities.

Great bird watching tour operator - An excellent private birdwatching tour with Deiner Campos who worked very hard to find birds, sloths etc for us - and succeeded in locating the quetzal - gaining us a wonderful sighting and photo of this bird. Highly recommend Deiner and the tour operator who kept us well informed of the tour logistics.

FANTASTIC! This tour did not disappoint! - Our bird watching tour was amazing. Although it rained and even poured the entirety of our tour, the birds we saw were so beautiful. Our guide, Marcos, shared his knowledge about the birds and his tracking skills were second to none. His passion for what he does is contagious. I hope to return someday, and I will use this company again - no exceptions.

An amazing experience ! - We booked our entire trip through Pasion... The service, the attentiveness, the care, the understanding and patience is OUTSTANDING !!! We were picked up at our hotel in San Jose by Marcos...who by the way is the BEST guide ever !! We went on morning walk with him and also the hanging bridges. He is amazing... did I say the best guide every ? Because, well he is !! Everything went seamlessly on this trip... everything. We had to make a couple of changes due to weather... but again we were treated like family. I highly.... highly recommend Pasion..and no doubt in my mind that I will be booking a trip with them again !!!!

Great Guide And A Great Tour - We had a wonderful time on our private tour! Despite being complete newbies as birdwatchers, Marcos ensured we saw more than twenty species during our morning trek around Curi-Cancha Reserve near Santa Elena. Including resplendent quetzals, toucanets, a motmot, and so many hummingbirds! Even after we left the reserve, Marcos had his eyes open, and on the way back to our hotel, he found a howler monkey in a tree along the road and a sloth above the parking lot in the neighboring hotel. He was a knowledgeable, engaging, and enthusiastic guide, and we had a fantastic time. This tour was definitely one of the highlights of our entire stay in Costa Rica.

Incredible birds need a great guide to reveal themselves! - Marcos is the best! He can call the birds and they call back. When no one could find a quetzal, he found us three. His true love and knowledge of the botany and complex ecological relationships comes through. But most of all his enthusiasm!

The best! - We went on three tours (bird watching, night tour, and natural history tour) with three different guides. Each one was amazing. They were experts in their fields and could speak about so much more. They are simply the best.

Beginner - Excellent knowledge by our guide. I would have liked more walking on the trail and to have seen more wildlife. Monkeys and slithers in particular.
