This tour is a unique experience that provides visitors with a true cultural understanding. Our philosophy was born from our local family who wanted to give clients an exclusive excursion different than conventional tours. We aim to provide our clients with an extraordinary experience by fully immersing them in this vibrant culture. This tour begins with a walk to a hidden organic coffee farm. Here, we have the chance to meet Capuchin White Face monkeys and Howler monkeys, who are both frequent visitors to the area. After spending time at the farm, we will go towards the upper part of the mountains, passing the original central town of Monteverde. This is where the Quakers settled in the 1950s and founded the cheese factory as well as the Quaker school. We will then catch a ride back to your hotel.

Lovely family owned farm with very friendly people. The tour is kid-friendly. And the empanadas and coffee at the end are amazing.

We could not have asked for a better experience - it was great! Justin was our guide. He was very knowledgeable, patient and wanted us to enjoy our visit to the cloud forest. We told him our biggest wish for the visit was to see the famous quetzal bird and he made our wish come true! Magical! We saw many other birds and learnt so much about the cloud forest. Thank you Justin.

Thank you, FARO Travels, for your excellent services during our time in Monteverde. Your drivers and guides were prompt, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We especially appreciated the expertise of Graibin on two hiking tours, finding numerous species of birds and mammals during our time with him. Thanks again to the FARO family members who made our time in Monteverde especially memorable! Pura Vida!!

I stayed in Monteverde for a month and while there, I traveled within Monteverde and to many other cities. I used Faro Travel Costa Rica and was very pleased with the services provided as the staff were always professional, punctual, kind, friendly and helpful (especially Andres!). As I solo female traveler they helped me feel safe and also helped me book many activities/travels. I was able able to contact them at any time and would receive a quick reply, even when I would message them last minute about wanting to go somewhere/do something. I would recommend them to anyone visiting Monteverde or for anyone looking for a reliable tour company.
