Esteban is one of the top bird guides we have birded with anywhere. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, he is a fun person to spend time with. We have gone out with Esteban on all 3 of our trips to Monteverde, and we hope that we can return again and bird with him. My husband is the birder, and I’m one of those SOBs (spouse of birder) who enjoys the birds, but I can’t remember what a bird is five minutes after I see it, and have a bit more of a hard time locating birds than more avid birders. Esteban is super patient with me and great at helping with spotting the birds. I can’t say enough good things about him, and always recommend him to friends who are planning a visit.This birding tour is truly an exceptional and timeless experience, especially for those who love birds.

This birding tour is truly an exceptional and timeless experience, especially for those who love birds. I highly recommend it. Esteban, our tour guide, is an exceptionally skilled birder with a passion and enthusiasm that is quite evident. He regaled us with wonderful stories and descriptions of the various bird species we encountered. His polite and charismatic personality made the experience even more enjoyable. Our birding adventure took us to the Curi-Chancha reserve, which is a haven for biodiversity. The reserve's dynamic ecosystem provided us with a sense of the wonders of nature. During the tour, we spotted numerous bird species, including a keel-billed toucan, emerald toucanet, crested guan, blue-crowned motmot, white-fronted parrot, slate-throated redstart, female resplendent quetzal, male resplendent quetzal, and countless hummingbird species, among others. Seeing the resplendent quetzal, both male and female, was undoubtedly one of the tour's highlights. Despite considering myself a novice birder, I found Esteban to be an exceptional lecturer and conversationalist. He was equally skilled at engaging all tour participants. In fact, he was my favorite tour guide during my stay in Monteverde. My only regret is not doing this tour more than once! The rainforests of Monteverde are so teeming with life that it may be worth doing the tour more than once, as you are likely to spot different bird species each time. It feels incredibly dynamic and fluid, especially compared to my home in Southeast USA.Birding Tour with Esteban was great adventure, he shared his knowledge about birds and he did it with passion. Thanks to him I saw quetzal which was my birding dream. Honestly I can recommend him to all birdwatchers. Thank you.

Zoo pictures aside, birds and animals are pretty hard to see in the real outdoors. Esteban made sure to point out things and helped us take pictures. His spotting scope was very helpful, and we were able to get some cellphone photos through that. We had opted for a private tour, so the tour was totally personalized. Highly recommend.
