It was a very good tour with Rigo! I was actually the only person participating and it was great because I was able to ask all the questions that I wanted and Rigo gladly answered all of them. Being interested in birds but not knowing much about those found in Costa Rica, Rigo was very knowledgeable about all the species and had a great eye (despite the lack of binoculars 😉) to spot them from afar. Birding with him was like birding with a friend, and I loved hearing scientific facts about local trees, plants, mushrooms and other animals from a fellow biologist. If you are interested in birding, this tour will be great for you and you will likely see a lot of different species, especially during the boat tour on Tárcoles River. Plus the lunch at the beach front was delicious. Rigo is a very nice guy and a great conversationalist so you will not be bored during the drive from and to San José. I highly recommend this tour.
This was one of best tours I took in my two weeks in Costa Rica. If you love animals and nature this is for you. The guide was a pro, and clearly loves his work. Well worth it!
