Pasion Costa Rica, Monteverde

Our tour was excellent and our guide, Felix, was fantastic. We had such a great time on both the day and the night tour. And we were lucky to see so much wildlife. Felix was knowledgeable, patient with all of our questions and generally a really lovely person. It’s clear that he has a great love for his job and for the wildlife in Costa Rica, and that passion really came through; making the trip even more enjoyable for us. I would also say that the food we had as a ‘snack’ was excellent. It was the best tour we’ve done whilst here! I would highly recommend Pasion Costa Rica.

Please do not hasitate to book a hike with Pasion Costa Rica while visiting Monte Verde. We booked the day and night combo and absolutely loved it! This was our number one hike during our 3,5 week long tour in this beautiful country. Felix was a great guide with lots of knowledge and pasion for sharing. We saw a lot of different birds like tucans, humming birds and manakins, two different kinds of monkeys, big spiders and other insects. Our lunch meal was included, and one of the best tipico we had on our journey. Thank you so much for an unique experience! Best regards Joakim and Inger

3 couples from Wisconsin spent 10 days in Costa Rica experiencing Monteverde cloud forest, Arenol and a Playa Hermosa. All of our pick ups, transfers and tours were arranged by Pasion Costa Rica. Everything went smoothly and the tours were exceptional because of the knowledgeable and competent guides. We are all seasoned travelers and were thrilled with the professionalism and communication of this company. Costa Rica is a beautiful, happy and environmentally conscious country. Thanks this travel company we all loved our trip to Costa Rica. Pura Vida!

Had an amazing day and night private tour with Felix. Felix was incredible and super knowledge. Would absolutely recommend

Our Pasión tours included a morning Natural History tour (3 hours) with a focus on birding and a "snack" included, and a Night Walk (2 hours). Jorge was helpful and responsive in setting up the tours in advance and our guide, Felix, was very knowledgable, friendly, patient, and fun to spend time with. My husband said "I get the feeling that Felix would be out here doing this even if he wasn't getting paid," and it is true that his genuine passion for the environment and all of the incredible flora and fauna shine through. We were a group of 4, two adults and two kids, and we loved having our own private, professional guide. We were able to see some spectacular birds, including the Resplendent Quetzal, and Felix shared his eBird list with me to document all of the 40 bird species we saw that morning. Between the morning and night tours, we also saw a Capuchin monkey, two species of pit viper, blue morpho butterflies, leaf-cutter ants, agoutis, coatis, collared peccary, the rufous-eyed stream frog, tarantulas, stick insects, and more! The optical quality of Felix's scope was excellent (we learned just how good it was when we later took a tour in another region of the country and that guide's scope was just okay) and he helped us to get some incredible photos with an iPhone through the scope. Now, to the "snack." The food was excellent and much more than we expected in both quantity and quality. We enjoyed a full, delicious lunch with leftovers to take with us, and were pleased to have Felix join us and patiently answer all of our questions about life in Costa Rica. We even spotted a few more birds (Blue-crowned motmot!) from the pleasant, shady deck where we were eating. We unreservedly recommend booking a tour with Pasión Costa Rica! Thank you, Jorge and Felix!
