Guide did not show up at the location and time we had listed. He asked someone else to come and take us on the tour. At this point in the day after our early morning tour of Corcovado, we were exhausted in the heat. Nice guide but it was really lackluster. Read more

Tips for future travelers

You're walking on a fairly well traveled dirt road with motorcycles and cars. There were opportunities to see birds but we had to keep moving for the cars to get by.
