Lovely walk in the Curi Cancha reserve ! - Jason was great ! He sent us the list of birds we got to see once the visit was over which was really cool. He was taking his time to explain things when things needed explanation and walked at a decent pace so we saw many different places and birds. Don't go there expecting to see a huge amount of animals. Wildlife is unpredictable so go there with that in mind and simply enjoy the birds and animals you get to see.

My partner and I did a... - My partner and I did a tour (just the two of us) with our guide Jason, who was able to help us spot and identify numerous birds in the Curi Cancha reserve, including the Quetzal and a few other less frequently seen birds. Definitely amateur friendly, as we were able to look through both the scope and binoculars that our guide had to properly appreciate the beautiful flora and fauna.

Amazing birdwatching - Highly recommend this Monteverde birdwatching experience at Curi-Cancha! Jason is an expert guide. In the walk through the Reserve he identified dozens of birds and sent a link to a complete list at the end of the tour. Favourites on that list were the Quetzal, collared trogon, northern emerald-toucanet, eye-ringed flat bill, warblers and hummingbirds. It is a true experience, where patience and listening for bird calls are rewarded with amazing sightings, photos and lots of happy moments shared with fellow bird watchers.

Great but not for kids - Jason is very knowledgeable; if you are a serious birder, you will have a great experience. I give this activity and provider 5 stars; but, I wouldn’t do this again with young and elementary-age children. The birding details are over their heads, and there is no guarantee of seeing the big and awesome birds they enjoy. A group guided tour in any other parks will cost less than half of this fee per person, and the guide will point out the exact same basic birds and creatures anyway. But again, if you are a patient adult and a bird nerd, this is for you. At the end of the activity you will get a list of all the birds you see. Spotting 30-40 species and taking quality pictures are well within reach.

I had a great time! I was... - I had a great time! I was a little nervous at first because it was raining quite a bit, but Jason assured me it would be ok, and it was. He was there early and throughout the tour, was super informative about birds we saw as well as all the other wildlife and the flora! I came out of the experience with a lot more knowledge and I ended up staying in Curi Cancha afterwards to continue birding.

Perfect for bird lovers - I had the most wonderful morning with Jason looking for as many birds as we could find inside (and just outside of) the Curi Cancha reserve in Monteverde. If you have a love of birds I would highly recommend Jason's tour. We managed to see so many wonderful species and Jason could tell me what bird it was just by the sound. He is very knowledgeable about all birds and I learnt a lot that morning. Jason shared his binoculars with me and even helped me get some fantastic photos. I really enjoyed this experience. Thank you Jason.
