Our guide Miller was a delight! We had so much fun with him and he worked hard to give us a tremendous experience. We saw active sloths, lots of monkeys, poison dart and red eyed tree frogs, three different toucan species and lots of tanagers and other beautiful birds. Our forest walk in the tree tops was misty and otherworldly and the reserve owners were kind and warm. Lunch at La Amistad was way off the beaten path but so worth it! Quaint and rustic setting with seriously local home cooked food. Just what we wanted! We loved seeing the rainbow eucalyptus trees.....wow wow wow! The greatest memory will be meeting CR folks in all our stops. They were so friendly and happy to have us. Pura vida!Odyssey29261500860

Miller was an amazing tour guide & we had such an amazing time on this excursion! The waterfalls were gorgeous, with plenty of howler monkeys to see & hear! We chose not to take a swim, but definitely would have been fun! The best part of our trip was walking through the rainforest, we saw so many amazing creatures, each fully explained by Miller or Daniel, our other forest guide. We saw 4 sloths & they were quite active too! It was great to see them up close in their own environment. Our guides were just as excited to see everything & take photos just like us.. it really showed how proud they are and how much they love their country. I mean, it’s paradise, how could you not? Our lunch at a local soda was delicious! We loved sharing a meal with Miller & exploring a nearby butterfly garden full of Morphos butterflies too, the local food was amaaaazing. Miller was an exceptional guide & truly made for a great day, definitely worth so much more than what we paid! Thanks again Miller, you’re the best! 😊mlkane

Miller was punctual, accommodating, informative and fun. He anticipated our needs and was always one step ahead of our group in suggesting interesting things. He spotted birds and animals during the excursion and on the drive and was willing to make unscheduled stops for photos. He even brought a good digital camera and offered to share his photos with us. He suggested an additional stop at the Blue River which was amazing. I highly recommend this tour and make certain you request Miller.shweta b

We did this tour with Eithel. He is the absolute best!!!! He went out of his way to make sure we got the best of the day and even stopped at a souvenir spot for us before taking us back to the hotel. This place was breathtaking!!! The hike up is not for everyone, I would say active to moderately active but it’s worth every aching sore the next day. Beautiful rainforest, you forget how small you actually are in the world. At the end we got to see a viper, poisonous frogs, and a sloth so close up! Toucans were plenty but so active.
