"the guided tour through the cloud forest was wonderful. " Mar 2011

"This tour was fantastic! Our guide was friendly and knew an amazing amount about the area. It was obvious he loved what he did. We saw 3 beautiful quetzals and he made sure we all were able to get quality shots of the birds. In addition, he taught us about the flora and fauna of the area with amazing attention to detail." Mar 2011

"We were supposed to have a different guide at 7:30 but he did not arrive by that time, so Melvin (his cousin) took us instead. Melvin was absolutely adorable. I think he was even more excited than I was every time he spotted some wildlife - even though he'd seen it thousands of times before and for me it was a first! His enthusiasm was contageous. And he would not give up on the emerald toucan's that were building a nest - he kept returning to look for them and eventually they showed up!" Mar 2011
