Sometimes nature doesn't cooperate and you may not see the birds you came to the park to view. Ipen your eyes to other gems and things work out! I did this tour as a solo as others cancelled and it gave me the opportunity to see butterflies, monkeys, spiders and learn how to optimize my c as meta and lens. Rafeal was kind, respectful and felt bad we could hear birds but they didn't come close. My one fault with the tour was he didn't use a green laser pointer. I did enjoy myself and it is a beautiful park

Our day started beginning with a beautiful sunrise followed by a four hour hike. Today’s venture took us to Metropolitan Natural Park in Panama City. Javier, our wonderful driver picked us up and we met our amazing guide, Natalia, who also guided us on the Pipeline tour. On this tour we saw two types of toucans, a two-toed AND a three-toed sloth, a tamarin monkey with a baby, a crimson crested woodpecker, a flock of parakeets and many other birds and mammals. Another great day in Panama City and tour provided by Guided Bird Tours.

We were part of a small group tour through Metropolitan Natural Park, and I can't rave enough about it. Mario picked us up on time at our hotel. It was comforting to hear that his English was excellent. (a concern for me, since my Spanish is dismal) Once at the park, he gave us some water (a necessity). He was very aware of our minor mobility issues and tailored his tour so that It was not too taxing. But we still saw over 50 species! We were able to take pictures through his spotting scope. He knew how to call the birds in closer and was positively amazing with his knowledge, and how to ID them so quickly! He kindly sent us an email with his species list that he submits regularly to ebird, so even though I could never remember them all on my own, the Ebird list provides access to pictures. He then took us to the grounds of the Bio-Museo where we saw many more species, mostly ground, water or low story birds as opposed to the canopy birds we saw in the park. Well worth every penny, and can't wait to do it agin.

This trip was one of my highlights of visiting Panama. My guide was Mario (another couple joined this tour), and anyone considering giving this park and tour a miss and only going to Soberania National Park should probably think again (I also did this tour, though!). Mario's professionalism, friendly manner, and talent I truly appreciated. We saw so many different species just starting out. I'm a serious birder, but still very much an amateur, but what I loved about this tour was it was fun, and Mario catered for the three of us. Very relaxed, but we saw so many different species, in this park so close to downtown Panama City.
Thanks, Mario. I was in awe of your talent for not only identifying the birds, but using calls to attract them so well astounded me! I learned a lot, but like I mentioned before, it was so much fun.
