NATURALIST GUIDE IS THE KEY FACTOR FOR A SUCCESSFUL

A visit to Monteverde is a superlearning experience. But all too often the trip falls short. Why? The naturalist guide. It is the Naturalist Guide which makes a trip. Your naturalist guide is there to provide information on the natural history of Monteverde and to maximize your enjoyment of the Area while making sure the park rules are upheld at the visitor site. There are over 100 NATURALIST GUIDES in Monteverde but only about 14% are university trained and experienced guides. And the vast majority do not have a professional command of the English language. These two factors mean that most visitors receive a superficial interpretation of the wildlife, geography, geology, history and conservation of Monteverde or find it difficult to understand the guide because of their accent or language. Most tour operators and websites offering guided tours in Monteverde state that they have the best guides, but don’t be fooled. You have a right to ask who your naturalist guide will be, whether he/she is a naturalist I, 2 or 3, and how many years experience they have.

About the Monteverde Reserve:

In order to explain the Monteverde Costa Rica Guided Tours we offer fist we need to talk a little about the Monteverde Reserve, In 1972, under the threat of homesteading in the surrounding rain forest, visiting scientists George Powell and his wife joined forces with long-time resident Wilford Guindon to promote the establishment of a nature reserve. The Tropical Science Center was receptive to these efforts and accepted institutional responsibility for ownership and management of the protected areas. An initial land purchase of 328 hectares formed the initial core of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve.

In 1975, the 554-hectare community watershed reserve, founded in the mid-60s by members of the Quaker community, was annexed under an administrative contract to the reserve. After the reserve’s creation, the Tropical Science Center continued to secure the financial and human resources necessary to expand, consolidate and properly protect and manage the non-profit rainforest reserve’s current 10,500 hectares.
