Guided Tour Curi-Cancha Reserve

Enjoy a guided tour of the beautiful Curi-Cancha Reserve. Led by a naturalist guide, you’ll explore the reserve’s trails and search for birds, mammals, insects and more.

The Curi-Cancha Reserve:

The Curi-Cancha Reserve is a 237-acre (96-ha) reserve that protects both primary and secondary forests. The reserve sees fewer visitors than the Monteverde and Santa Elena reserves, but has some of the best birding in the area.

Of the many birds that live here, resplendent quetzals, keel-billed toucans, orange-bellied trogons, and blue-crowned motmots are some of the best. Also present in the reserve are anteaters, three-toed sloths, howler monkeys, white-faced capuchin monkeys, and armadillos. Lowland wet montane forest dominates the lower elevations, while premontane cloud forests blanket higher areas.

Explore the cloud forest of Curi-Cancha on an unforgettable guided walk through pristine jungle and lush canopy.
