Where Curiosity Led the Way: A Kid-Friendly Monteverde Night Tour - Our tour guide, Pablo, was patient with our kiddos, involved them in the sightings, and went out of his way to find creatures for us to see. Communication was superb too. I will recommend this specific tour to friends and family visiting Monteverde.

A great walk in the very dark jungle - A wonderful tour through the night jungle with plenty of wildlife and a unique experience walking through the night forest. Our guide, Pablo, was very knowledgeable about so much of the jungle and pointed out things we would have never otherwise seen. Highly recommend this tour with Pablo!
