An excellent birdwatching tour - Our birdwatching tour with Jorge was really enjoyable and a great introduction to the wildlife in Costa Rica. Jorge was very friendly and incredibly talented at spotting and identifying the birds in the Tapanti national park. We would highly recommend his tours!

Excellent tour! - Great tour with Jorge who was so knowledgeable about the birds, the environment, the culture of Costa Rica and, the Orosi Valley! We are very amateur birders and he was very patient with us and made sure we understood how best to locate all the birds. He sent us a great summary of the species we had seen and lovely photos of our time together!

Jorge was great! - Jorge was a great guide! He was very responsive and helpful in all ways! The National Park Website wasn't working to book our entry tickets to Tapanti so he did it himself and we just paid him back. He is very observant and we saw 18 different species. He sent us great photos from our time together and the full list of species we saw. He answered many questions about the region and Costa Rica in general. His environmental knowledge is extensive! Tapanti is beautiful and very lightly visited. Muchas gracias Jorge!

Rainforest birds and more! - My husband and I birded at Tapantí with Ernesto. He was awesome! He knew so much about birds, plants, bugs - everything! He was also super quick getting the scope set up for us to see things up close. We would definitely bird with him again. Jorge was easy to communicate with. All in all, would highly recommend.

Excellent Birding Guide - We spent half a day watching birds with Jorge two weeks ago. He is an excellent naturalist and bird guide. Unfortunately Tapanti National Park was closed due to landslide destruction of roads in the the park. Jorge brought us to several locations with different habitats ending in the cloud forest next to the park. He is an excellent bird identifier both by sight and call. We saw over 40 different species of birds. He has a good sense of humor. He really cares about the Costa Rican environment and educating people about it. I highly recommend spending some time with him.

Birding in Tapanti - Don't Miss it! - Our guide, Luis, was on time, on topic and totally a great guide to all that Tapanti has to offer. He supplied the spoting scope, the binoculars and lots of tips for finding and identifying birds through out our 3 hours together. Tapanti is a beautiful park - uncrowded and lush with both flora and fauna. Don't miss this opportunity to see it from a local's perspective.

Great Birding Plus - Jorge was amazing. He is enthusiastic, fun and a great birder. We went out with him twice and his associates another 3 days. Each time we saw fantastic birds including the Respendent Quetzel and the Bell Bird. All the guides spoke English and were not only excellent birders but also very knowledgeable about the culture and history of the Costa Rica. We would certainly go with them again. Pura Vida, Brenda
