Incredible wildlife spotting thanks to Anderson

We had a great morning in Manuel Antonio National Park with Anderson as our guide, and we can only warmly recommend him. His experience and trained eye made all the difference: where we probably hadn't noticed anything ourselves, he managed to find sloths, capuchin monkeys, and an amazing variety for us within minutes. Anderson took plenty of time to explain everything — from the animals’ behavior to the park’s broader ecology — and set up his telescope each time so we could admire and photograph everything up close. His enthusiasm and knowledge made the tour not only educational, but also very personal and fun. For anyone visiting Manuel Antonio: be sure to book a guide, and if Anderson is available, seize that opportunity. A self-guided tour is guaranteed to miss 90% of what you see.

Absolutely fantastic experience!

Edgar was an incredibly knowledgeable and enthusiastic bird guide. We saw many, many birds, several quite rare. We never imagined how much fun we would have! Also, he is queer-friendly ⭐️.

Kenneth LE GUIDE de Jade Tours

Never have I seen such a competent and interesting guide. Kenneth is very erudite with unusual eyes for spotting monkeys, sloths, insects, birds, reptiles. Really an activity with this guide to recommend more than highly. Catherine and Eric.
