Nature Walk
Mauricio was very knowledgeable and pleasant. We spent about 2hr20 with him after checking in and buying park entrance tickets. We saw resplendent quetzals, hummingbirds, mottled owl, lesson’s motmot, slate-throated redstart among others and an agouti and a coati.

Great experience!
My dad and I went on a walking tour with Albert and absolutely loved it. His enthusiasm is contagious, i never knew i was so into birds 😅 he is a great spotter, can identify any animal from miles away and is a walking encyclopedia for the region. Next time im in Monteverde i will definitely contact this company again!

Amazing and Knowledgeable Guides
Elbert was our guide and he was wonderful! Patient, very knowledgeable, great with our 10 year old. He could identify the sound and show us what we were looking for. He knew the flora and fauna and history of the land as well. He was great with helping us capture some great photos too! We did the Curi-Cancha tour and then booked him to take us through the Children’s Eternal Forest. We had an unbelievable experience while there with the Bell Bird. He accommodated us and surprised us when we asked what we were going to look into the scope. Hands down would book him the next time we come to CR.

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.

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
