We enjoyed our walk through the nature reserve. Since we were self-guided we didn’t spot as much wildlife as I think we would have with a tour guide, so if you want to see a ton of wildlife, I recommend a guided tour who can spot animals more easily. We still saw two basilisks, herons, and many butterflies and birds! It was a great place to visit.

Very nice place to see frogs, sloths and butterflies. Guide was remarkable, knowledgeable, and well organized. Easy to find and the pineapple at the end was delicious

Filled with beauty on every turn. Birds, butterflies, reptiles, sloth. It is wonderful to meander along the trails and see what you can spot along the way. Beautifully maintained. Wish we would have time to come back for a night tour. We did those in a couple of other locations in Costa RIca, and I have really come to appreciate those. Doing a night tour at this location must be spectacular.

We saw endless wildlife in this reserve - from birds (both at the feeding station and around the gardens) to sloths, to butterflies in the butterfly house. Add in also all the beautiful plants and it made this tour worth every cent of the entry price. Highly recommended.

Actually, my partner and I rented a room in Ecocentre Danaus. It is possible to stay in one of their rooms, which is an amazing chance to spend a wonderful time among pure nature. It's definitely better than staying in a hotel. We were surrounded by marvelous tropical trees. We fell asleep to the birds singing and the mornings began with a clear volcano view. We didn't take a tour with a guide, but we walked through the centre on our own and we were surprised to see so many plants, animals and butterflies.
Also, the nicest people work there. They're extremely pleasant. They will tell you fascinating stories about the eco-center and its inhabitants. I would definitely come back to learn about nature and to meet people❤️

Nous avons visité ce jardin seuls avec mon mari et avons rencontré un couple d'oiseaux dans son nid avec les bébés. plein d'oiseaux dans ce parc. En sortant nous avons rencontrés la guide - adorable - qui nous a accordé de son temps en laissant son travail et en nous montrant le paresseux perché dans un arbres et les mini grenouilles rouge bien cachées sous des feuillages.... Beaux momentx de détente et de découvertes apaisantes. A faire

Exceptionnel !!!! Je recommande vivement cette visite avec un guide excellent passionné et très pédagogue! Nous parlons peu anglais mais il parle lentement avec des gestes aussi ! Nous avons tout compris ! Nous sommes repartis avec des souvenirs inoubliables plein la tête et des photos exceptionnel dont beaucoup faites par le guide qui les a pris avec notre téléphone ! Il est très doué pour ça ! Allez y !!!

Ein kleiner, aber feiner Park. :) Die Tiere sind hier nicht eingezäunt und können sich frei bewegen, was uns gut gefiel. Wir konnten einige Tiere entdecken.🙂 Unter anderem zwei Faultiere und ein Kolibrinest.
Die Wärter/Führer sind sehr freundlich und geben Hinweise wo was zu entdecken ist, was im Dickicht des Dschungels sehr hilfreich ist.

Heel leuk park, wat met veel liefde wordt onderhouden. In het park vind je veel verschillende dieren. Zo hebben wij veel verschillende vogels, 2 grote knaagdieren, een kaaiman, 3 luiaarden, verschillende vlinders en kikkers gespot. Sommige dieren hebben wij zelf gespot en andere werden aangewezen door een gids die met een andere groep was. In het park vind je echt de ontspanning en ben je even weg van het massatoerisme. Het park is niet groot maar wij hebben ons er meer dan 3 uur vermaakt.
Tot slot zijn de medewerkers super behulpzaam. Toen we naar de receptie liepen werd ons nog gevraagd hoe we het ervaren hadden. We zeiden dat we het super vonden, maar dat we het nog wel jammer vonden dat we geen kikkers hadden gespot. De medewerkers liepen met ons mee en na kort zoeken hadden we ze gevonden.
Ook tijdens ons bezoek kwamen we af en toe een gids tegen en deze vertelde met trots wat hun gezien hadden.
Ik zou deze activiteit 100% aanbevelen.
