Great place to visit - 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.

Costa Rica Paradise - 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

Beautiful location - 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.

A fantastic wildlife experience! - 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.

Unique experience - 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❤️
