Hicimos el tour del Parque Nacional Manuel Antonio y gracias al guía Alejandro, pasamos una mañana estupenda. Es un crack, tanto en las explicaciones como en la conversación amena y divertida que tuvimos con él. Realmente te hace disfrutar del tour por su actitud y entrega en todo momento. Es un auténtico lujo poder disfrutar después un buen rato por tu cuenta para terminar de apreciar dónde estás. Recomendable cien por cien. Pura vida.

Alejandro was so great 😊 So knowledgeable about the park’s history and flora and fauna. We focused on animals and were not disappointed. Vipers, monkeys, nesting hummingbirds, a baby sloth! Such a fun time. Would absolutely recommend 💯

Today we had an excellent and informative walk with Eduardo in Manuel Antonio. He was very knowledgeable and helped us through the crowds - get ready! - of the park. He spotted sloths, capucine monkeys, basilisks, aguti, snakes, crabs and many more, always going the extra mile to ensure we could see and photograph them properly. However go early.

We did a tour with Nathan and thought it was excellent. He was extremely knowledgeable and had a great eye for spotting wildlife. We wouldn’t have enjoyed the National Park as much without Nathan as a tour guide! Thank you!

Night tour avec Jean paul incroyable. Il a l’oeil 👀et nous a donné une multitudes d’informations interessantes sur chaque animal que nous avons rencontré. Sans compter les photos des animaux prises pour nous tout au long de la marche et pour lequel je le remercie avant meme de les avoir encore reçues. ☺️
