    This tour with Angie was an absolute highlight of our time here in Jaco. She speaks English and is extremely knowledgeable & passionate about the park and this area. Angie found Toucans & Macaws & shared photos from her scope, and taught us some history behind National Parks here in CR & factual trivia on plant-trees-birds- bugs. Highly recommend! She’s friendly & funny & eager to share her world with you.
