Rodiber's tour was the highlight of our time in the Cloud Forest

Our friends had booked a private tour with Rodiber for bird watching in the Curi Concha Reserve. Rodiber was a fantastic guide - he was very knowledgeable not only about the birds, but all of plants and the environment as well. We learned a lot :-). He was also great at spotting birds, patient and familiar with their habits - so much so that we got to see a resplendent quetzal after others had given up. It was quite a treat. We also really appreciated how generous he was with his knowledge - letting other guides know what we had seen and where, so they could all share with their own groups. We highly recommend booking him for a tour!

Operator response

Thankyou Ndkyger, Nature is unpredictable and sometimes animals are there, some other times we have to search un such a dense forest but, that day with your entusiasm and patience we got our goals. Other people also looking for that special animal had the oportunity as we have a good friendship that make our day easier going with extra assistance at spotting animals.

Bird Watching at Curi-Cancha Reserve

If you’re even remotely interested in birds or just love being in nature, Curi-Cancha Reserve is an absolute must-visit in Monteverde. Tucked into the cloud forest, this reserve offers a more tranquil, less crowded alternative to the more popular Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve—making it ideal for wildlife spotting, especially bird watching. We took a guided morning tour, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Our guide, Rodiber, was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly skilled at spotting and identifying birds both by sight and sound. He had a deep passion for the forest and its inhabitants, which made the experience even more memorable. With his help, we saw 3 types of toucans, hummingbirds, brown jay, sloths, monkeys, flycatcher, pigeons etc. The trails are well-maintained and easy to walk, winding through a mix of open areas and denser forest, each offering a different birdwatching experience. Rodiber also brought a high-quality spotting scope, which allowed us to see fine feather details and behaviors we would have otherwise missed. Overall: An unforgettable birdwatching experience that blends rich biodiversity with expert guidance. Whether you're a birder or simply love nature, Curi-Cancha with Rodiber is an experience not to be missed.

Operator response

Thank you Viddhi, Birdwatching in Monteverde is very special as we can find some unique birds from the highlands. It's been great look for those jewels that we can find here.

Nice Curi-Cancha tour

Carlos was a very good and thoughtful guide. We were fortunate to be his only two guests for this tour. He taught us a lot about the flowers, trees, environment and sights within the park He found a lot of humming birds and other birds and took pictures through his scope for us. No quetzals were out that morning but he gave very good and accurate advice about where to find Quetzals and Bell Birds on our upcoming trip to Selvatura. Thrilled to see 3 Bell Birds and 1 Quetzal where he told us to look. Very good guide and nice tour. Highly recommended!

Operator response

Thank you Amy, Carlos is a very knowledgeable naturalist guide and his passion for sharing his experiencie is something we all admire in Monteverde. Among the beautiful and unique birds from Monteverde are the seasonal quetzals, bellbirds and some other.

Wildlife experience of my dreams

An amazing experience full of adventure and new discoveries. I was in Monteverde for 5 days. The itinerary prepared M.E. Was a good mix of different locations allowing me to see as much wildlife as possible. The tour guides provided were well trained, knowledgable but most importantly, passionate. In Curi Cacha, I got to see the infamous Quetzal during low season thanks to my guides experience. Would recommend this company and this specific tour to any fellow wildlife enthusiasts out there!

Operator response

Thanks 243jacobl, For trusting and your comments. We are a selected number of guides and friends that keep practicing because we love the Nature and share those treasures the Cloud Forest provides.
