A friend recommended Sam. We contacted Sam by email: samguia@hotmail.com and it was very easy to book our tour. We had a fantastic tour in Curicancha. Sam was amazing at finding both birds and animals. Sam was knowledgeable we saw a wide range of wildlife. We would highly recommend Sam as a guide.
Samuel is the best tour guide for day and night in Monte Verde. We did a night tour and saw a Snake, Toucan, many birds, Armadillo, Scorpion, Tarantula and many cool insects. Samuel is extremely knowledgeable and kind. He is patient and understanding - overall fantastic human. 2 days later and we are still glowing from the experience!! 1000% recommended. Great value.
