Curicancha Reserve in Monteverde.
Walk through secondary forest, a great birdwatching habitat, where you may spot Resplendent Quetzals, Coppery-headed Emeralds (endemic to Costa Rica), warblers, and toucanets. Then continue into primary forest bordering the cloud forest
Your naturalist guide keeps the pace relaxed and the group small, for a semi-private experience with time to stop, look, and ask questions. You'll learn how each species, from birds to plants, fits into this ecosystem.
Ideal for curious travelers who want to understand the forest, not just see it. This is travel with purpose; all ages and fitness levels are welcome. We stop, watch, and listen; we don't rush.

1Reserva Curi Cancha
Discover one of Monteverde's premier reserves on this 2.5-hour guided hike. You'll explore the tranquil, low-traffic trails of the Curicancha Reserve, where three unique habitats converge: - **Secondary Forest:** Experience young, regenerating woodlands that demonstrate nature's ability to recover. - **Open Grassy Areas:** These spaces are perfect for spotting various bird species in the clear. - **Primary Forest:** Walk through a mature, untouched forest that borders the cloud forest and the Continental Divide, showcasing the transition between premontane and montane ecosystems. Along the way, I will help you understand the local wildlife and plants, explaining how the cloud forest functions—from the mist that nourishes it to the many species that rely on it for survival. We will take our time as we explore, and we will also visit hummingbird gardens. Your participation supports a local guides
