Freddie our tour guide made this so much more than a walk in the woods. His knowledge of the wildlife, vegetation, and history of the area was amazing. His sharing of the culture past & present gace us a real insite into such a beautiful & friendly country.
Hola.! Thanks for taking your time and sharing this review, we got to see very good stuff, we saw sloth, monkeys peccaries among others, the Nauyacas waterfall was amazing so you cool off after that is great.!
We met freddy back in 2016 and we have returned to Costa Rica and reached out to request him to lead our trip to this unique animal sanctuary less traveled than the one in Manuel Antonio; it’s a true gem and Freddy will show you things you would never notice or see otherwise. He is patient, knowledgeable and a wizard with his telescope setting it up swiftly to get a better view of the animals. We had an amazing day and felt like he took great care in making our day special and full! He advised us on advance what to bring and what to expect and he was so good at finding unique animals and sharing background info that was interesting and relevant. Highly recommend this day in Costa Rica and booking Freddy!
