Description

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the Curi Cancha Reserve, a lesser-known gem nestled near the renowned Monteverde Cloud Forest. This reserve is a haven for birdwatchers, boasting sightings of over 200 bird species, including the stunning Resplendent Quetzals and vibrant Emerald Toucanettes. As you traverse the groomed trails of this 205-acre sanctuary, your bilingual naturalist guide will enhance your experience by identifying and showcasing the rich biodiversity, from colorful birds to elusive mammals like Two-Toed Sloths and Spider Monkeys. Your adventure begins with a convenient pickup from your Monteverde hotel at 7:00 AM. Travel in an air-conditioned van to the reserve, where you'll explore both primary and secondary cloud forests. The trails, varying in altitude from 1,450 to 1,615 meters, are preselected by your guide based on recent wildlife activity, ensuring a tailored and enriching experience. As you wander through the forest, learn about the intricate ecosystems and the symbiotic relationship between the flora, fauna, and local communities. Conclude your half-day exploration with a return to your hotel, enriched by the sights and sounds of one of Costa Rica's premier birdwatching destinations.
