Ecological paradise - Had a beautiful time! Our guide Yostin stayed with us for over three hours, carrying a giant scope for us to watch birds, monkeys, and others. He told us the ecological history of different trees in the area. We just talked about plants and animals for forever. Amazing time!

Truly a highligh of our trip. Thank you, Jovanna! - Fantastic experience! Truly a highlight of our trip. Jovanna was so knowledgeable and truly passionate about the park and its wildlife and plants. She was able to spot things that we would have never seen on our own and her telescope was a valuable part of our experience. She helped us understand many things about the ecosystem, not just here but throughout the country. Her love of Costa Rica and the pride in its beauty was a joy. Thank you, Jovanna!

Make the time! - Our guide was exceptional! She knew the flora and fauna as you would expect, but she also had an amazing eye, able to notice and identify various species at the drop of a hat. Birds, lizards, bats, snakes and spiders! We enjoyed our time with her very much, she exceeded our expectations.

Giovanna was amazing - Giovanna was an amazing guide. These wildlife tours can be so difficult as it is so dependent upon the cooperation of mother nature. We had hoped to see some monkeys and Macaws, and Giovanna literally went out of her way to make that goal successful. While touring the park we saw hummingbirds, poisonous frogs, Agouti, and towards the end of our walk got to experience a family of white faced monkeys all around us. We didn't have any luck with Macaws and Giovanna took us outside the park to four different locations until we were able to successfully see a pair of amazing Macaws. I was blown away by her enthusiasm and dedication to what she was doing. Highly recommend.

Geobanna is AMAZING! - What an AMAZING park to visit. We were in a small group with Geobanna. She is so incredibly passionate about her career and worked so hard to show us as much as possible. This park is less crowded than Manuel Antonio and you see many of the same animals.
