We were very lucky to... - We were very lucky to explore the Curi Cancha Park with an experienced and passionate tour guide – all to ourselves. Since there were no other participants, the tour felt especially personal and intense. Our guide Johnny is a true adventurer with impressive knowledge of the local wildlife and plants. His enthusiasm for nature was infectious and made the experience truly enjoyable. Thanks to his high-quality binoculars, we were able to observe many animals up close – including some we would never have spotted without him. We even managed to capture great photos and videos through the binoculars, giving us wonderful memories to take home. We can absolutely recommend a tour with Johnny – perfect for anyone who loves nature and is looking for a truly special experience! Pura vida, Johnny! đŸŒ¿

Enjoy the unique Johnny experience! - If you're heading to Monteverde then don't miss the opportunity to spot birds (and other wildlife quite possibly!) with Johnny. His knowledge of birds, their natural habitats, habits, sounds and calls is impressive, as his ability to name the beautiful or strange-looking plants you see on the way! We will forever remember our joyful hours with him in the forest, such a treat!!!

Wonderful Tour, Johnny Loves Nature is a gem! - Johnny is a friendly, thoughtful tour guide and his enthusiasm for birds and nature is infectious, can’t recommend him enough. The 4 of us had a private tour and we saw both male and female resplendent quetzals, among other birds and insects, he was able to locate them by their calls, and called them in return! He has deep knowledge about the environment in general, and he has a great, open sense of humor and personality.

Johnny is a great guide. - Johnny was a knowledgeable and fun guide, with a quick eye and plenty of stories to go around. That, and he also bailed me out after another tour was canceled. He even let me borrow his extra rain jacket when it started to pour. And yes, our group saw quetzals and other birds.

Johnny really does love nature! - Johnny is great we did 2 tours with him. The depth of his knowledge is crazy! It was impressive at how good he was at finding animals! We would have not seen anything if we went with out him. He also helped us all by taking photos on our phones through the binoculars.
