Excellent tour!

Published on Aug, 2024

Great tour. Didn't actually see a ton of wildlife but the guide knew about it all. Probably spent too much time talking about the creatures and not enough time looking for them. He is always ready to please tho. When he realized we wanted to see quetzals, he immediately offered to take us over to curi cancha park after the regular tour. We jumped in his van and he ran us over there where we saw several quetzals along with other wildlife. It was awesome.

Amazing birdwatching experience!

Johnny was so much fun! We had a great time learning and looking for birds. He is open, caring, and knowledgeable. We saw a beautiful hummingbird and even a quetzal (a rare find!). Highly recommend booking with Johnny if you want to take your time and enjoy nature.

Wonderful

Older, our guide, was super knowledgeable and very friendly. The cloud doesn't is an amazing place. Would like to do a night tour next time

Worth Every Penny

Published on Apr, 2022

Our guide was Piña and we had an amazing time with him. We showed up early and he was already there and ready to take us in. He was super knowledgeable about the local wildlife and plants, and was able to hear and point out things that we never would have noticed. His English was perfect and he had almost every plant and animal name memorized in English and Spanish. We know he wasn't making it up either because there was a couple of birdwatchers we ran into and he had a very in depth conversation with them that was fascinating to be a part of. We were lucky enough to see a quetzal, but that was also thanks to Piña knowing the different sounds the male and female make to each other. 5/5. If you don't take a guide with you to Monte Verde, you aren't going to scratch the surface of what there is to see.

More unbelievable then we could have imagined

Published on Apr, 2022

Johnny took my wife and I in early November 2021. It was the absolute best experience! We saw a male and female quetzal, stick bugs, tarantula and more! There is no way we would have had this type of experience without him. Well spoken, kind and loved his job. Thank you from Laura and Chad Keuler!!’
