This tour did not prove its worth because the area requires experienced hikers on narrow and high trails. They should advise persons to bring hiking shoes and a walking stick. It rained that day so the birding was not favorable, however, despite that event, the area did not seem to have an abundance of birds. We saw more birds on our resort grounds which were surrounded by a natural reserve. Monte Alto is 'alto' so hiking the area requires concentration & not an easy bird watching experience.

My husband and I arranged an early morning of bird watching with Wilmar Retena of Guanacaste Adventure Tours - the company is NOT closed. He also transferred us from inland hacienda to our beach hotel. He was an excellent guide and also shared much about info about Costa Rica on the drive to and from the park.
We were the 1st boat on the river and the boat driver was excellent. This helped us to see more species of birds as well as other animals. After birding and boating, we enjoyed an excellent breakfast at a true Costa Rican restaurant with two ladies cooking just for us! Definitely a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica!

Small bridges lead over the winding creek, who many miles downstream will become the majestic Rio Nosara. You see large blue Morpho butterflies flapping by, watch troops of leaf-cutting ants carrying pieces of flowers and leaves, and sometimes come across howler monkeys, agutis and coatis.
