Family friendly

Her family booked a night walk and Curi Cancha hiking tour with Elbert. He was patient and attentive with our young children (5 and 7) and very skilled at his craft (over 20 years of experience). Our kids were fascinated when we spotted a green viper during the night walk.He is also 100% fluent in English. Come prepared for rain and bring some good hiking shoes.I highly recommend booking a tour with Three Brothers!

10/10 would recommend

We absolutely loved our tour today. Our guide Mauricio was so knowledgeable and friendly. He also had excellent English. We wanted to go bird watching and he took us around the reserve and we saw an abundance of birds. He also just knew loads about nature and everything else around us. He had a telescope and got to take some amazing pictures through it with my phone. Would 100% recommend. We booked through their own website and it was all a very easy process. 10/10 tour.

A wonderful way to experience Curi-Cancha

Our hike in Curi-Cancha would have been completely different (and way less interesting) if we hadn't booked this guide. We learned so many fascinating things, and my two tweens especially loved looking through the scope that our guide brought at all the birds and animals he was able to spot during the three hours we spent with him. Overall, a wonderful way to spend our morning in Curi-Cancha.

Wonderful experience

We had Mauricio as our guide at Curi-Cancha and he was so knowledgeable and his English was perfect. We saw lots of hummingbirds and he knew all the species names. He was very detailed in his explanations and really nice.

Fantastic tour with Mauricio!

We had such a great tour of curi cancha with Mauricio! He knew the name of every bird/animal/plant that we saw. He was extremely knowledgeable and very warm and engaging. His English was very good and understandable as well. He was also very good at spotting animals.I would highly recommend this tour and Mauricio!

Interesting and a good walk

Good experience made better by the knowledge of the guide. He knows where to look and walk so makes the walk so much better than doing alone. Plus like all the tours it’s a social too mixing with other people of different cultures and your own, so recommend

Poor guide

Guide didn't seem interested in looking for birds and didn't even show us small birds. We would hear birds singing, but he didn't even look up and around and would ignore our requests. The guide didn't describe things well and often contradicted himself. He could have stayed with other tour guides, but decided to go by himself. The tour about 2 hours even though it said 3 hours. Would not recommend. We should get our money back for this tour.

Exceptional local guide who went the extra mile

Mauricio kindly came and gave me a one to one tour after I whatsapp messaged him. I really felt like I was with someone who really really knows his stuff. He pointed and explained so many birds, plants, animals and their behaviour and I loved it! And also he talked about the wider ecosystems, political systems and concerns of the area and local people, which helped me understand even further how to be an ethical and respoible tourist in Costa Rica. Really special to have such an incredible local guide so friendly, willing and able to share their knowledge with you. Highly recommend and also really great value for money. Thank you Mauricio!

Go with a guide if you want a much fuller experience.

We had an Excellent experience exploring Curi Cancha reserve with our guide Mauricio. We saw many interesting birds that we would have definitely missed without his help. We also learned a lot about the area and its natural history. Going with a guide is definitely worth it and Mauricio was great.
