Just 5 hours away on a plane from the US North East, high on a mist-covered mountaintop kissed by passing low hanging clouds lies one of the planet's most biodiverse regions - the Monteverde Cloud Forest - a Shangrila - replete with guide extraordinaire Dennis Fernandez on call and waiting to show you round his enchanting, Edenic neck of the woods. A bilingual native son with a passion for nature, birding (raptors especially) and photography (you can see his fabulous work on instagram), Dennis is the ultimate field guide - naturalist - birding enthusiast - photography instructor - professional photographer and the physical embodiment of the Costa Rican's saying: "Pura Vida". Without Dennis, our one and only day in Monteverde would have not been quite so rich and rewarding. To make the most of our very short time in the region, we opted to take a full day package with Dennis that included visits to The Monteverde Cloud Forest Bioreserve, Curi Cancha and a night walk through a local wildlife refuge. Although not inexpensive the package was definitely worth every penny, as it included admission to each of the sites we visited, transportation between them, and access to Dennis's encyclopedic knowledge of the area, his photography skills and of course his friendly companionship for the duration. Dennis was punctual, professional, warm, engaging, and impressively knowledgeable, pointing out so many endemic creatures hiding in plain sight, as well as several cleverly camouflaged, and identifying a lot of the incredible tropical botanical specimens we came across. He brought with him a powerful birding field telescope and tripod which enhanced our view wildlife, and also enabled cellphone photography - so if you didn't have a fancy camera with a long lens, you would still have pretty amazing photos to share with friends and family at the end of the trip. And of course that scope and powerful flashlights accompanied us on our night walk as well. Below are some of the pictures from our day & evening with Dennis. It was our first time in Costa Rica, and we were on the ground for a total of 5 short days, visiting Monteverde soon after landing. It was definitely the highlight of our trip. We hope to return to explore some more of Monteverde and other parts of Costa Rica too with our new friend and guide Dennis, who it turns out also organizes and leads tours in other parts of the country! Do reach out if you're in the area, and let him be your guide - you won't be disappointed.moogie63

Dennis is an absolutely incredible guide! I had an amazing experience! As a birder, it was a dream come true to explore Monteverde with such a fun and knowledgable guide as Dennis. We saw so many birds and other animals. Dennis gave me really great tips for other hikes and places to go on my own after we finished. I had the most amazing day with him. I highly recommend that you choose him as your guide in Monteverde.
