Diego Rodriguez has the skills and experience to put you on the birds both common and extremely rare. Amazing!
Such an amazing guide! The reason this experience was so spectacular was because of Diego Rodriguez and his amazing knowledge and skills an irrepressible love for the birds. What a day! Sharpbill, Monklet, Ornate Hawk Eagle and so many more. You can’t go wrong with Diego.
Response from the operator: Thanks My friend! Hope to see you again! For more Birding Experiences

Birds and More
We saw a number of different types of birds - grackles, toucans, hummingbirds, etc. - as well as some monkeys and agouti. We basically hung around an open area and waited for the birds to come to us. Our guide was very knowledgable and pleasant.
Response from the operator: Awesome! I really hope you have a great time! Regards Diego!

So many Gorgeous Birds!
This was a great experience. Diego is so knowledgeable about Costa Rican local Birds and the Monteverde area in general. It was so enjoyable for someone who likes Birds but hasn't really gotten into Birding (yet). He spotted so many Birds for us in a short time, by listening for them, knowing where to look, and literally calling them. It was so impressive. This was a very small personal tour and we saw dozens of Birds up close and personal. We saw Keel Billed Toucans, Hummingbirds, Parrots, Toucanets, Kiskadees, Tanagers, and my personal favorite the Motmot. Gorgeous. Diego showed us too many Birds to list here. I was amused that other Bird Tour operators were watching Diego to see what he found. It was clear to me that Diego was the expert on Birds in the area. A great Bird Watching Tour experience I won't forget anytime soon.
Response from the operator: Thanks So Much! I really appreciate Your Time and Company! Hope to see you soon again Diego!

Wood Thrush and Diego
We did a bird watching tour for beginners, it was super nice, we managed to see many birds and learn a lot from Diego, we would not have imagined the incredible world that birds hide and we learned everything thanks to Diego's experience! He is a bird educator who knows everything!!! The tour could not have been better and we met many birds that we have at home in North America and we did not know We managed to spot a beautiful Wood Thrush, a Species that Diego has worked with in Research, a Beautiful bird. We recommend Diego for his bird tours and hikes!!!
Response from the operator: Thanks Kev! I really enjoyed birding time With you! Hope you enjoyed Safe travels Diego Rodríguez

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Luis Ecological Farm Birding Tour.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Monteverde.
How much does San Luis Ecological Farm Birding Tour. cost?
+
Prices start at $130 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Monteverde usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does San Luis Ecological Farm Birding Tour. take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Monteverde is not rushed.
Is San Luis Ecological Farm Birding Tour. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Monteverde, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule San Luis Ecological Farm Birding Tour.?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is San Luis Ecological Farm Birding Tour. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Luis Ecological Farm Birding Tour.?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Monteverde can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Monteverde and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Luis Ecological Farm Birding Tour. start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Monteverde within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Monteverde?
+
On Outty we rank every Monteverde experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Original Canopy Tour Monteverde, Zipline, Monteverde Cloud Forest Guided Tour with Expert Naturalist, Coffee, Chocolate & Sugar Cane Tour (Regular). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Monteverde?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Monteverde?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
