Why Book the Jaguar Trail Walk?

Step off the beaten path and into the heart of Tortuguero’s rainforest with a local guide who knows its every sound, scent, and secret.

This is not just a walk — it’s a chance to connect deeply with nature, away from engines and noise. Along the Jaguar Trail, you’ll explore a living ecosystem full of surprises: monkeys, sloths, colorful frogs, exotic birds, and ancient jungle trees that tell stories of time.

What makes this experience truly unique is the slow, intentional pace, the bilingual interpretation, and the perspective of a guide who is passionate about wildlife and committed to conservation.

You’ll learn, laugh, take incredible photos, and see the rainforest with new eyes. Whether you're a nature lover, a curious traveler, or simply want a moment of peace and awe—this walk is for you.

We had a fantastic time on the tour! Despite the rain, we saw plenty of nature: sloths, agoutis, hatching turtles, toucans and lots of monkeys. Jairo was a great guide, very informative and friendly! We would recommend the tour to anyone in the area.

I really enjoyed the tour with Jairo, because he lived in America for some time, he also spoke English very well - so I could understand everything he told very well. We were able to discover some great animals. I can highly recommend the tour and Jairo. He responded to our wishes and he loves his job and you can see that! Could take really nice photos of the animals. I have done a few tours in the almost 3 weeks and Jairo has been the most likeable so far.

I had the chance to take a daytime walking tour with Jairo Brenes, and it was absolutely wonderful. Not only did we enjoy the beauty of the landscapes and Jairo’s deep knowledge of the area, but we were also lucky enough to witness a sloth and a mother spider monkey teaching her baby to walk on its own – such a touching and unique moment! Jairo made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the hike, sharing fascinating facts about the wildlife and plants we encountered along the way. His kindness and passion for nature made this experience so much more than just a tour; it was a memory I will treasure forever. If you’re looking for an authentic, educational, and unforgettable connection with nature, I 100% recommend taking a tour with Jairo.
