An amazing birdwatching experience fit for a passionate birder like myself. This tour had everything. An experienced guide named Donald Torres who help me identify around 40 bird species in 3 hours. During the tour we were served coffee and empanadas as a complementary gift. This property is unique due to its size. It has one of the best lookout points in all of Monteverde. The open spaces are perfect for good photography. The highlight of the trip was being able to hear the elusive manakin bird! Loved the experience and will bring my family back!

We did a tour of Monteverde Cloud Forest with Donal Torres as our guide. This 3 hour tour was extremely informative and Donald helped us spot several species of birds, monkeys, frogs and butterflies. Donald is very knowledgeable tour guide for cloud forest. He shared a lot of details that made the tour interesting!!

Donald is a special person—with a lot of talent, a lot of intelligence, and a lot of enthusiasm. We spent three hours in Monteverde with him, and we would have lost a lot without his presence. He has a lot of wisdom about animals and plants, including environmental issues. We will never forget our experience with him!!
