Curi Cancha with a great local guide!
We really enjoyed our tour of Curi Cancha. Dani was very knowledgable about the wildlife, the area (as he grew up there), but also the history and biology of the nature and animals. Dani found wildlife that we would never have seen on our own - we saw Coatis, spider monkeys and lots of different birds. He also got amazing pictures and videos through his equipment that he then shared with us! We did not feel rushed at all and Dani also arranged our transport to / from the reserve.
Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit Monteverde.

Highly recommend!
Excellent tour from start to finish. Dani was great, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wildlife and was able to find various animals for us to see including quetzals, toucans and owls. Dani provided round trip transport for us, drinks and snacks and offered to drop us in the centre rather than back at our accommodation for us! Would highly recommend!

Informative and entertaining
Danny was a great guide. He started the tour explaining a plant early on the trail. That experience changed my outlook on our tour. I went to see animals, after that I feel I had a deeper appreciation of all the nature had to offer.

Great way to see unique birds!
The tour was brilliant! Dani is a great guide, he was able to show us wildlife that we otherwise would’ve missed. He has loads of great knowledge that made the experience really worthwhile. Organising the tour and transfer was also really easy and went very smoothly. Dani shared the photos he took with us also which was a great touch!
