Fantastic! Rodi was knowledgeable and patient- we saw some amazing gems on my morning bird walk. Highly recommend!
Thankyou Emily, Those manakins among other were good highlights on our activity that morning. Glad you liked it. Hope to coincide once again to try to find a Quetzal at the Cloud Forest.
Rodiber was an excellent guide. He was the most knowledgeable guide we've ever had. We saw many interesting plants and animals. A highlight of our trip.
Thankyou Robert, Is very important for us that you enjoyed your time in the cloud forest with us. Each one our naturalist guides have received their certification and they love animals and generally the nature. Rodiber is not the exception, he specially like families with children who have lots of questions.
Very entertaining and informative visit thanks to Rudi our guide who explained everything to us in detail and we learned a lot about fauna, flora and history. Highly recommended.
Thankyou Voyage, Curicancha is a beautiful park in Monteverde that is really good for birdwatching. Sometimes monkeys, agouties, and other fauna. We are so glad that you enjoyed it because that is our mission with our guests.
My family had toured the hanging bridges at Selvatura without a guide the day before, and we were curious how much we had missed. Right off the bat, Rodiber showed us a small viper in a tree and a host of other wildlife and insects that we would never have spotted on our own. We loved getting to see everything up close with his spotting scope, and he offered to take pictures with the scope and those all turned out great. Rodiber was a wealth of knowledge and I would definitely recommend a tour with him!
Thankyou for your lovely comment, Cloud Forest is full of gems that could easily hide so there we have the mision to find what is posible to US as naturalist guides who know the area of Monteverde. We are so happy that you enjoyed your time in the Cloud Forest with us.
We did the Heart of the Forest trail with Rodiber this morning. He was really nice and knowledgeable, going at a pretty slow pace to explain the fauna and animals to us. We had a great time and would definitely recommend booking a tour with him!
Thankyou Paula, We like the heart of the forest trail in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve as it's good to find some birds that we could see at this region because is a wider trail and let us see further in the forest. We are glad you liked your visit with us. Thankyou again.
My wife and I had long dreamed of visiting Monteverde Cloud Forest and Rodiber was the perfect guide to show us the park. He was prompt and professional with communication, even helping us resolve a mistake I made in booking our entrance tickets. During the tour, Rodiber showcased his deep knowledge of the environment and its inhabitants, while also leaving space for quiet observation and wonder. The scenery was predictably incredible, but what stood out most about the cloud forest was the soundscape. Rodiber cued us to sharpen all 5 of our senses and spot a wide variety of plants and animals, especially birds. Thank you, Rodiber, for helping us realize this dream.
Thankyou James, It was really Nice to meet you. And your entusiasm for the nature and enjoying every detail of the cloud forest makes it a nice activity. We just like the nature and find those beautiful treasures this environment have is what we like doing. Also we help you to organize your arrival to have a better experience in Monteverde.
Wonderful guide and wonderful Cloud Forest experience. Thank you for your patience and wonderful interactions with our children. They all had a great time and said they learned so much.
Thankyou Jeffrey, We had a good time that Morning. The kids and their entusiasm gave our activity a special ingredient so we enjoyed it.
We had a great time with Luis Alfaro who gave us a lot of information about both fauna and flora. We were able to observe many birds! Muchas gracias!
Thankyou very much Marion, Luis is a very knowledgeable guide and we are glad you had the oportunity to come with him. Thankyou for coming to Monteverde and have a good expedition with us.
Luis worked very hard to give us as much information and as many visual and auditory experiences as possible.
Thankyou Carol, Luis one of our naturalist guides is an expert and loves specially amphibians and reptiles. Hus knowledge is incredible, also his easy way to pass that information is something we recognize.
Our guide, Rodiber, communicated with us about meeting up. During our walk he shared some history of Costa Rica and the reserve. He was able to listen to bird calls then find them in the trees. Was very knowledgeable on plants also. Saw so Much more than we would have on our own. The experience far exceeded our expectations.
Thankyou Susan, We love nature and history so that made more enjoyable our experience and your questions about Monteverde nature and Costa Rica makes it interesting for us too.
