  When visiting Monteverde we hoped to see the quetzal, as we are hobby birdwatchers, but we didn’t expect too much. Thanks to our guide Roy it didn’t take us more... read more than five minutes to spot the first quetzal - a female- and soon later we saw the beautiful male bird flying up to her and then resting close by. It was absolutely mesmerizing! Lateron Roy showed us other rare and interesting birds (including an owl) and told us a lot about the flora and fauna of Monteverde. The park itself is really beautiful and thanks to Roy it was one of the best tours we have ever made. Highly recommended!

Herbert started his bird spotting from the moment we left our hotel as they were everywhere if you just knew where to look! We hiked around Curi Cancha plus a few other spots he knew about before and after so we had many opportunities. We're not experts so his bird knowledge was very helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our morning tour (just the two of us). Note you can rent binoculars in Curi Cancha and the entry fee is extra. Sadly we didn't spot a quetzal as sometimes you just don't get lucky. However he made an extra effort to drive us to find the amazing three-wattled bellbird in another location. So cool!
