This was an amazing experience! Johnny was my guide. We found almost 40 different species of birds. He helped me with photographs. He was extremely knowledgeable and nice to hike with. I highly recommend this bird tour!

Big recommendation!

The tour with Oscar was absolutely fantastic. At first he gives you the choice of two parcs. We choose Curi-Cancha. Besides that we were very lucky that day and saw basically all birds we wished for, has Oscar a great eye and ear for it. He has a perfect balance of sharing information, spotting, pace, etc. It felt very comfortable and it was absolutely worth every Euro. Thanks again Oscar!

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! It was a real pleasure guiding you at Curi-Cancha, and I’m very happy that we had such a successful morning with so many of the birds you were hoping to see. I also really appreciate your comments about the balance of the tour. Finding the right pace between spotting wildlife, sharing information, and simply enjoying the forest is something I always try to adapt to each guest. Thank you again for your trust and kind recommendation. It was a pleasure birding with you!

Great bird watching with Johnny

We had a wonderful time with Johnny! He was so knowledgeable of the birds and where to find them and you could tell that he really had a passion for it. He was so quick at finding birds and setting up his scope so we could have an amazing view. He also had binoculars for us to use. We highly recommend this tour, it made our trip to Monteverde!
