Well worth getting up early for bird watching - Our guide for bird watching was enthusiastic and knowledgeable so we learned in depth about migration, nesting and bird calls. With his lenses and equipment, we were able to see even tiny birds up close and take pictures.

The best birding tours we have ever been on. - These were the best birding tours I have ever been on. What a thrill to see a male and female quetzal and their baby! Marcos was not only a superior birding guide, but he worked tirelessly to find the birds we were looking for, and even took pictures for us.

Mission Quetzal and Lazy Birding - Marcos’ passion converted my 20 year old daughter and I into birders for the day! The trip was for my 79 year old mother who is an avid birdwatcher. Marcos was able to customize the tour for her to maximize bird count without having to walk far. We saw 30 species in 3 locations. He was determined for us to see the male Quetzal and he was able to track it down by listening and calling. He even spent more time with us than we had paid for with no questions asked. Mission accomplished! Marcos is personable, knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. He knows all the other guides and workers and is obviously well-liked in the community.

A trip to remember - This was not the first time I had toured with Pasion, and it won't be the last time either. The care, the attention, the knowledge is outstanding. I highly recommend Pasion...you will have an awesome experience.

Highest Accolades! - This experience was worth every dollar we paid. Don’t fool yourself! You will never be able to see or experience everything you can on your own as you can with an exceptional guide such as Marcos. Not only did we see incredible birds, we met incredible Costa Ricans. Pura Vida!

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 !!!!
