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.

Our Natural History Tour invites you to discover the incredible biodiversity of this tranquil reserve — from birds and mammals to vibrant plants — and learn about how life interacts in this unique ecosystem.
