Excellent guide!

We were on the fence about hiring a guide, but are so glad that we went with Mauro! He immediately pointed out all kinds of animals we never would have found otherwise. He also gave us excellent advice about where to park our car by the park to avoid all the aggressive scammers. Could not be more pleased with our tour and would gladly hire him again!

Manuel Antonio with Dylan

Our family took a hike with Dylan Corvales. He was one of a kind! Great energy, knowledge and humor. Our daughters got to see all kinds of incredible wildlife and learn about the local terrain. He gave us as much time as we needed to take second looks at different species that we definitely would not have found without him. Dylan’s passion and enthusiasm for nature is contagious. He positively impacted our lives with his beautiful outlook on life. We’d definitely recommend Dylan for any tour! Pura vida!

Diego was a superb guide!...

Diego was a superb guide! We were in a group of 10 and he made sure everyone had their chance to see each of the animals through the scope. He took great photos and answered all of our questions.

Amazing experience of Manuel Antonio Park thanks to our Tour with Mauro!

Mauro met our family of 4 first thing in the morning and helped us access Manuel Antonio Park with ease (we had bought our own tickets ahead of time). He then expertly guided us through the Reserve spotting and teaching us all about the wildlife we would definitely have missed without him. He was extremely well informed and deeply caring and passionate about this magical place. The forest came alive in a whole new way for us as he pointed out everything from nesting hummingbirds to sleeping Howler monkeys. We learned so much about the flora and fauna of this beautiful place and really enjoyed ourselves. If you are looking for the best way to experience all that Manual Antonio Park has to offer I highly recommend that you sign up for a tour with Mauro.

Amazing Guide Makes an Amazing Time

We saw lots of animals that we wouldn’t have spotted on our own! Mop was our guide, and he was great! He was energetic, knowledgeable and had a sixth sense to spot animals. The equipment he had was top notch, and he shared the amazing photos of the animals we saw. I highly recommend this tour!

Great morning with Mauro Jimenez birding in Manuel Antonio NP

Excellent guide, great English speaker, really knows his animals and birds. We are fairly serious birders and we appreciated his keen eye, ear and knowledge. We are bringing home great photos thanks to his skill with the telescope and the ability to take cell phone pictures through the eye piece of the scope; sloths, monkeys, reptiles, frogs and of course birds.
