A great guy who is very passionate about his job!

Johnny was an amazing guide, a really down to earth guy with a great sense of humour! He found various animals such as Quetzals, Toucanets, a Green Viper and a Tarantula. The real highlight for us was the hummingbirds who were totally not bothered by all of the tourists in awe. Johnny answered any questions we had in full detail and shared bits about his life with us. We hope to visit his organic restaurant when we return to Costa Rica!

Disappointing

The guide was 20 minutes late, did not contact us, and taught us very little about the cloud forest.
