This was awesome! Oscar was such a good guide, and a really nice person. He really seemed to love showing us all of the really interesting wildlife, and helped us get some really amazing photos along the way. He was really knowledgeable about the animals that we were seeing, and shared a lot of really interesting information about Costa Rica in the process. I really recommend him as a guide for any of your wildlife viewing dreams!!

Surprisingly many animals in the dark!
In the afternoon we decided we wanted to do another night tour in Monteverde. This was quickly arranged via mail. We went out at 17:30 with our guide Oscar. Oscar is super enthusiastic, knows and talks a lot about nature and knows exactly where to find the animals. So we started just outside the park, because there was a group of monkeys hunting a turkey. We also saw a scorpion, snakes, insects, a sleeping hummingbird and a sleeping howler monkey with young monkey. The highlight was really the toucan! Oscar really captivated our two adolescents, they were also excited after this tour!
Operator response
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! It was a real pleasure guiding your family and sharing the wildlife of Monteverde with you. I’m very glad we were able to start with such an interesting monkey sighting and then continue with scorpions, snakes, insects, the sleeping hummingbird, howler monkey with its baby, and of course the toucan. I’m especially happy that your teenagers stayed engaged and enjoyed the experience too. That always makes a family tour even more rewarding. Thank you for joining me and for your kind words!
