Sunny Monteverde - The Monteverde tour was great. We saw a sloth, two quetzals and a couple of other birds. The walk on the ground and then on hanging bridges with two guides (instead of one!) was very interesting and informative. We saw what the wild orchid looked like as well as the wild avocado. The nature was amazing! The lunch at the coffee plantation was delicious. We were lucky - it was sunny and warm, no rain at all. The whole tour was like a fairy tale. Great!

Alex is an excellent guide! - Alex is a great guide! Thanks to him we saw not only capuchin monkeys, but also two red macaws and a family of howler monkeys on the way to Monteverde. Alex knows a lot about Costa Rica, has shared exciting information and was able to answer all our questions in detail. He was extremely attentive, humorous, and showed us along the way e.g. the national flower and the national bird of Costa Rica, as well as coffee plants and an old ficus tree. We also stopped at beautiful photo spots where we could enjoy the view over the beautiful hilly landscape and do forltos. It's a bit of a winding ride and Alex drove very safely. I have a star deduction for the booked tour in Monteverde Cloud Forest, as I had slightly higher expectations. We saw many beautiful plants, a tarantula and different birds, but unfortunately no quetzal, like other groups on the same afternoon. Our external guide didn't seem very enthusiastic about the matter, which was a shame. The other guides in the park made a lined-up impression, so there is some luck here too. All in all, I am very happy with the trip, because it has always been my dream to see the red macaws. Alex made this possible and I am very grateful to him for that. Pura vida.

Maneul Antonio National Park - The trip to Manuel Antonio National Park starts early and ends at a comfortable time, though it is a long journey from San José. However, there are plenty of stops along the way to make it more manageable. Our guide, Augustine, was fantastic—he gave us space to enjoy the ride quietly but was also attentive and willing to answer any questions we had. He’s incredibly skilled at spotting hummingbirds, and it was wonderful hearing about his experiences. At the park, you get approximately three hours, with about 1.5 hours to relax at the beach and one hour for the trail, followed by lunch. Both breakfast and lunch were very good. However, keep in mind that the trip is lengthy due to the distance from San José, so it may not be ideal if you’re uncomfortable with extended travel.
