Vogeltour Curi cancha

We spent 9 days in CR doing a lot of stuff. This tour was my favorite. As you can see, Esteban has 5 stars and raving reviews. And somehow that seems like it is not enough. He has the ability to see birds that would otherwise be hidden. His excitement is palpable. He is as happy to see these things as you are. After the tour, he sat down with me and google maps to help me route out the best way to where we were going next--showing up where to stop for gas and supplies, etc. And he knows everything about the nature there. Not just the birds. Every question we had was answered like an encyclopedia. 5 stars and then some.

Curicancha is an amazing place, full of possibility. Our guide, Esteban, was so knowledgeable and enabled us to see so much than we would have seen on our own. Real privilege to visit this reserve.

Esteban is an expert with whom you will know everything there is to know about birds and with whom you can observe spectacular species. Just for the tour, it is already worth coming to Monteverde. A 10 out of 10.

Esteban was the greatest guide we have met so far in Latin America! Not only super knowledgeable about local birds, he was also very helpful and encouraging, making the experience at Curi Cancha really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend him for anyone interested in birds or simply the local nature in Monteverde area.

You are in great hands with Esteban. He’s the real deal . Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and dedicated. I see him giving advice to the other “guides”. He’s the best bird expert in town . We were a family of 4 , the youngest being 9 years old. Let’s just say waking up at 5am to go bird watching wasn’t his thing. But for those early risers , this is a great morning spent . Be prepare to do a lot of hilly walks . Definitely not recommended for people with mobility issues.

Everything everyone else has said about our guide Esteban is correct! He was a great tour guide and really knew his bird! Highly recommend!

Our 4 plus hour birding tour of Curo Cancha Reserve with Esteban was a pleasure. We are NOT serious birders, but are wildlife enthusiasts and he was quite accommodating to that. His knowledge base was vast for the area and his English was excellent. His assistance with photographing our finds for us was invaluable. I had mentioned my hope to find a keel toucan and he was able to do so! I would recommend the adventure.

Johnny was a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and Friendly guide. He is great at what he does! We saw over 30 birds including the Bell bird and a keel billed toucan actively at the nest. We also saw a couple of Agouti, 2 pigs and a few Coati and went home with many videos and pictures that he took thru the scope!

We had such an excellent tour and saw at least 30 different birds. Justin was our guide and he was so knowledgeable and very friendly. He had a really great telescope for getting a close up view and had good binoculars for us to borrow. We would highly recommend requesting Justin as your guide!!

An excellent tour - we saw so much! An excellent guide who was very knowledgeable and could spot birds we could not see at all! He had a scope for better viewing so we could take lovely photos too. Would definitely recommend
