5.00The park is worth the visit. The forest is amazing. We got up close with a whole family of white face monkeys. It was the best monkey experience in Costa Rica so far. The staff is amazing. Hang around and get something from the cantina it was the best empanadas I’ve ever eaten.

5.00We did the self guided tour. It is a 2.5km walk at your own pace. Beautiful jungle and Giuseppe the owner was very helpful and friendly. He walked with us a little bit and showed us leafcutter ants and tiny dart frogs. After the jungle walk there is also a short walk through the gardens. Again, Giuseppe accompanied us and made it a great experience.
Fantastic

5.00It was a fantastic visit! Nature is beautiful, you look out of your eyes. It was very quiet, we were almost alone in the park. The hospitality of these people deserves so much more crowds. We even got a private tour in front of the garden where we got to taste all kinds of fruits and herbs.
Excellent Visit

5.00We did the self-guided trail hike. Lovely trail. We saw many monkeys, a sloth, lots of coatis and a large number of bird species. David Francisco was the host manning the station. He was amazing. He was very knowledgeable and super friendly. We had great conversations. My wife and I loved talking to him. Outstanding customer service. We stayed for almost 3 hours. This activity exceeded our expectations. David was a big reason why.

5.00I have done most of the trails around La Fortuna and wanted somethibg different as whilst most come for the sloths, I genuinely prefer the monkeys It was a little further out than I anticipated but not too far and Uber was fine in both directions I arrived later than I planned and you can't predict nature but whilst we heard howlers in the distance, we saw cappuchins, a three toed sloth and her newly born baby, a group of coatis and many birds and butterflies Fortunately for me, as I seem to attract them, no snakes. I didn't spot a caiman but by Uber driver saw a turtle as we were leaving It is lesser known than the other trails as it is fairly new, so you may have the trail to yourself A guide helps but the staff are so friendly and the owner even made us fresh juice and yuca snacks, I also has my favourite, pipa fria!
So nice.

5.00We visited the Monkey Farm today on the recommendation of our host, and it was perfect for anyone who loves seeing monkeys. Right at the start we saw lots of monkeys and they were super curious. So much fun! You can walk a route there, and it took us about 1.5 hours. We also saw toucans, caimans and the blue jeans frog. The man who works there was incredibly kind. He made a yucca torta for us with fresh naranjilla juice that he had just picked from the garden. He also prepared fresh coconuts for us. And we were the only people there, which made the experience even more special. A really lovely place to visit in La Fortuna.
