Kevin was a fantastic guide. He went out of his way to find the birds we were interested in. We saw spider monkeys, bell birds, many types of hummingbirds and more.
Wonderful trip!

We had a fantastic trip through Curi-Cancha with Kevin today. He tailored the tour perfectly to suit the interests of the 4 of us. He was very impressive in locating birds of particular interest to us all, finding a quetzal, bell bird and several toucans. With his help we were able to take fabulous photos too. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.
A must visit place with a great guide!

Kevin made the tour an amazing experience! He knew where to look and found so much wildlife we hoped to see! He took photos for us and shared them. At one point he sprinted down a hill just so we wouldn’t miss anything. Very impressed.

Kevin was our guide and he was excellent. Very good English, passionate and knowledgeable about the environment and the animals we were seeing. He asked us our target species at the start of the tour and set about trying to tick them all off. He had a telescope and was good at getting pictures through it and also had a couple of sets of binoculars for our group to use. I would highly recommend this tour.
Found the 3-whittle bellbird

Kevin! Humble man full of wisdom and grace. He hears and sees birds like he is one. He shares all of that for the price of admission but he would do it free (if he could)! We loved his patience with us. We found 4-5 rare birds and we were treated to the faunas and flora's of the cloud forest. Pay the man He’s worth the price and more
A very memorable tour

Kevin was recommended to us by Hotel Calathea for a night walk tour and a Bird watching tour at Curicancha Reserve. Kevin was prompt and ready to start his tours. His English is excellent. His knowledge about the wildlife in both places was excellent. He is personable and easy to talk to. He was also very attentive to make sure each of his guests enjoyed their guide. I would highly recommend Kevin.
Fantastic Tour

The tour was a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Kevin Rodriguez is a competent guide. He helped us to discover an incredible number of animals and was extremely well versed in birds in particular. We were particularly pleased to see the Bell Bird and the Quetzal. Ask for Kevin when you book a guided tour!
A wonderful tour with Kevin

We had a wonderful tour of the Curicancha Reserve with Kevin. It was a beautiful afternoon and we saw and learned so much from Kevin's vast knowledge of the area. He was a pleasure to spend time with and his passion for nature was evident. If we had not hired him as a guide, we would have had a lovely walk in the woods but we would not have learned even 1% of what we did having him show us the way.
