Great birding in Braulio Carrillo - We had an incredible day birding at Rainforest Adventures. It was like we had the whole park to ourselves. Marvin was a fantastic guide and knew exactly where to find the birds. I viewed 28 new species. We also saw peccary, tapir and a viper snake. The sloth habitat was a great bonus.

Highly Recommend! - My day of birding with Marvin was incredible. His knowledge of the whole ecosystem was impressive. It was a day of enjoyment and education. Marvin’s love for and knowledge of the rainforest was infectious. I saw and photographed so many species of birds. I’d do this again in a minute.
