    Night tour with Pasíon Cost Rica and Marcos was a great time for our family. Marcos was kind, knowledgable, and adaptable. He also picked us up and dropped us off at our accommodation. We were able to see several animals during the tour. Of course you can’t ever predict what will be seen given they are wild animals but Marcos did his best to get us in view of some. We saw an emerald toucanet, side stripe palm pit viper, many types of insects, a few types of birds, and a few frogs.

    Loved learning about Costa Rican Biodiversity!

    This was an amazing experience! My husband and teenage brother were guided by Sergio, and we would highly recommend Sergio as your guide. He is super knowledgeable about Costa Rica and its ecosystem and the impact each animal, no matter how small, has on the environment. His passion for the nature truly shines through. 100% would recommend again!

    Cloud Forest walk - literally the clouds!

    Gopi_O, Dec 2025
    We had a very mixed experience with this tour. We had an amazingly great tour guide, Marvin, who did an amazing job of taking us through the Cloud Forest. Unfortunately, mother nature conspired to make the evening almost close to unbearable. The winds were around 30 to 40 mph and with the temperature being 62°, it felt like it was actually 52°. We were ill prepared for these weather conditions. Despite that, Marvin did an amazing job of taking his time to walking us through the forest, pointing out so much of the biodiversity, and really taking time to showing us some snakes, owls, scorpions, frogs, and countless other species of insects, birds and animals. What a Truly Amazing Pl., Costa Rica really is. Thank you señor Marvin for a wonderful evening of sightseeing.
