Curi Cancha Reserve
Discover a piece of Costa Rican cloud forest at Curi Cancha Reserve. The 96 hectare (237 acre)wildlife refuge was established as a nature reserve in 1997 and serves as a scenic spot for hiking and bird-watching. Take a guided tour or set off on the trails by yourself, exploring the primary cloud forest that's sprawled with pieces of open space that make it easier to spot native animals. Roaming the trails, you might see toucans, resplendent quetzals, sloths, anteaters, howler monkeys, or capuchins.

After experiencing multiple other reserves in Monteverde, this felt like birding on hard-mode. This may be the perfect place for a birding guide because we heard so many species and struggled to really nail down their exact location! Although we weren't our most successful with birds, we did see toucans (bless up to the binoculars we rented for $11) and a few cool mammals! The trails are super well kept if not a *little* confusing to follow (signage is everywhere but felt a bit off sometimes). I highly recc visiting this spot because we know there's so many amazing bird species, and it felt less crowded than other spots.

Incredible reserve, particularly for birders. Such a diverse set of habitats, and the park hosts (particularly Justin!) are friendly, super knowledgeable, and all around wonderful. Can’t recommend enough.
