5Oscar the great
Our guide Oscar was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a very informative and educational time with him. He was fantastic. We would recommend him to everyone.
5Really knowledgeable...
Really knowledgeable guide. Learned loads. Great views of troop of spider monkeys moving through trees. Nice small group.
5Oskar is the goat naturalist :)
Amazing experience! Oskar was fantastic and super knowledgeable! The forest is alive and it’s a must have experience in Monteverde. Although it was super rainy and windy we still enjoyed it. Saw a good variety of wildlife and amazing nature. Advice: if it’s rainy - take good waterprooof jackets and pants ^^
5Great tour with a tremendous bit of luck!
This was a fantastic tour. Our guide was super energetic and very knowledgeable. During the tour we saw just about everything you could dream of. Sloths, Toucans, White face capuchin monkeys, Spider monkeys, Agoutis, and a fer-de-lance!
5Best guide
Absolutely incredible experience with our guide Oscar. He was so knowledgeable, friendly and passionate about the wildlife and made the whole tour engaging for both me and my family from start to finish. We saw an amazing range of animals and birds including bats, hummingbirds, quetzals, insects, and some incredibly unique rainforest species that we never would have spotted ourselves. Oscar’s ability to find hidden wildlife was honestly unbelievable, and he explained everything in a really interesting and easy-to-understand way.
5Fantastic guide, also great with kids
We had a fantastic time with Oscar - he was by far the best guide we had whilst in Costa Rica. We did a private tour as a family and he was really great with our two children (4 and 8) - they were captivated the whole time. We saw so many incredible birds and animals, he has such a skill for spotting wildlife. He picked us up from our hotel promptly and dropped us back which was really helpful.

About Monteverde
Monteverde is a mountain community in Costa Rica's cloud forest, known for misty reserves, hanging bridges, birdlife and coffee farms.
Monteverde is a scattering of farms and small villages on the Tilarán Mountains, around 1,400 metres up, where moist winds from the Caribbean wrap the ridge in cloud. Quaker families from the United States settled here in the 1950s and began dairy farming, and they helped protect the forest above. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Biological Reserve and the neighbouring Santa Elena Reserve preserve mossy trees, ferns, orchids and hanging vines.
Top-ranked sights in Monteverde: Curi-Cancha Reserve, Selvatura Park, Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve (Reserva Bosque Nuboso Santa Elena).
