Juan-Carlos is a well-spoken English guide with a lot of knowledge and facts about nature and the environment. Also involves the children. Patient, really takes its time to take photos. We were lucky to spot the Quetzal (m+v), along with many other animals! Top afternoon!
It was just my family and Juan Carlos. He was an excellent guide, teacher, and advocate. We not only saw a sloth, snakes, a walking stick and leaf bug - very difficult to spot in any circumstance! - but we also took time to experience and listen to the forest in complete darkness, and dreamed together about our own conservation plans for the future. Juan Carlos also shared resources with us to follow up. Life changing!
Juan Carlos is such an incredible guide! He not only entertained all of our questions and observations, but he was excited to answer them and take extra time looking at all the plants and nature. He obviously is very knowledgeable about the Monteverde cloud forest and Costa Rican wildlife. He was very patient and enthusiastic. We could not have had a better tour. He was observant of the environment and we got to see a bunch of white faced capuchinos and a nightingale ! 10/10 experience
Juan Carlos is very knowledgable and makes you embrace and understand the nature around you. We enjoyed the tour a lot and highly recommend it
Very good guide. Knowledgeable of forest and did a great job of spotting wildlife. Juan Carlos did a great job. Trip adviser messed up reservation but Juan was still able to get with us.
