What Our Guests Are Saying
EXCELLENT Based on 681 reviews Posted on AC NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nice little spot, easily accessible from La Fortuna. The staff are kind, helpful, and knowledgeable and of course the wildlife is excellent. Despite that, and despite our visiting during high season, the place wasn't at all crowded. Worth budgeting some time for, ideally with a guided tour; even flagged, sloths are surprisingly difficult to see.Posted on J FTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A really great spot for birds and sloths! I would strongly recommend a guided tour as the sloths are hard to find, even though the owners put flags by their favorite trees. We were too late for a tour but a staff person, Lorenzo, was kind enough to help us spot the sloths anyway!Posted on Marita KeelingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely easy hike through a forest of native plants created from cattle grazing land. David, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and also sharp-eyed. We saw six sloths on the walk as well as agoutis, caiman, iguana, fruit bats and numerous birds. Beautiful flowers. David was also very good at taking photos and videos through a telescope.Posted on Dan BachelderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The tour was great, David was our guide, he stopped to pint out various plants and talk about the history of the forest. We saw sloths, birds, lizards and a caymen. He was extremely knowledgeable and could answer any questions. I would highly recommend him as a guide. The location was great, we hardly saw any other groups. The cost was the best value we have had in Costa Rica. Thanks again David.Posted on Jan Vincent EngelsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic experience.
