A wonderful tour of the National Park - highly recommended! - We had been contemplating whether to go on a guided tour, or tour the national park on our own. My goodness we are so pleased we booked a guided tour! Diego spoke perfect English and he made to tour fascinating and fun! He told us so much about the ecosystem and the animals and plants that live in harmony with each other. Within minutes of the tour we had already stopped about 6 times, to see sloths, snakes, monkeys, basilisks, crabs, etc. and the rate of spottings continued in this way! He answered every question we had; we learned so much from him. I am not kidding - if you go without a guide, you are unlikely to spot much at all without the expert’s trained eye and experience. I would highly recommend Diego; he is part of a family operation and is passionate about what he does.

Highly recommend! - Our tour guide was Jean-Pierre and he was a perfect mix of enthusiastic teaching, pointing out hidden animals and allowing us to experience the park for ourselves. I cannot recommend him enough. Also, I do recommend booking a tour early in the morning. The park gets crowded and at least during April, it’s very hot midday.

Milton showed us lots of animals - Guide was able to show us many animals and we were able to take great photos through binoculars. Without a guide we would have walked past many animals. Milton was a great guide!
