We were first greeted by staff who offered samples of their 100% arabica cof...

Erik Garcia Conchal Beach
Tour operator
👍👍 To be honest, we were a little skeptical about booking with Erik at first, but after reading the rave reviews, we took the leap and booked the Rio Celeste, sloths, coffee and chocolate tour, and we could not be more satisfied with the experience. The best way for me to explain how great Erik Garcia'...

Chocolate and coffee farm tour Don Jorge

👍👍 This chocolate, coffee, and sugar cane tour was incredible. My partner and I booked this tour exactly 1 hour before it started, and we are so so glad we did! Since visiting in the rainy season, this experience ended up being a private tour. We had an amazing time learning all about the Don Jorge far...

Rio Celeste y Los Teñideros
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Definitely a must-do experience. No guide necessary. It’s a long steep climb back up from the waterfall, but not a problem if you are in good shape. Highly recommend hiking to the end of the trail (past the waterfall) and seeing where the blue starts (two rivers come together and the water turns blu...

👍👍 There are several Punta Uvas on the map, if you are wondering then this point is where the beach is the most beautiful. It's not as tranquil as cara can get almost all the way to the beach but the combination of palm trees and the sand beach here is epic. Swimming here is also great because you get...

Night Walk Tour
Tourist attraction
😐 Nice tour, nice guide. I’m surprised there are almost only 5 star reviews however. We do not go deep in the forest (e.g. The last 20 minutes were spent looking for insects in the parking lot). We saw nice insects and an owl. 30$ seems expensive for what i saw, but nice activity to do in monteverde.

👍👍 Love the zip lining here! It’s very safe and profession and… very fast! We’ve spotted some good wildlife here including Tucans and white faced monkeys. Their photography is excellent as well. So far my family has zip lined here 8-9 times and we frequently recommend it to friends.
