Incredible Experience with the most knowledgable guide in Costa Rica

Published on Jan, 2022

Jason is an exceptional guide with incredible knowledge of each bird species in Costa Rica. Wonderful

Very good!

Published on Mar, 2021

Jason is fantastic. He is a true animal whisperer. He helped us see so many birds and animals. His English is excellent. We actually booked him for two different parks because loved him so much.

Birdwatching with Jason Solano

Published on Dec, 2020

During my birdingtrip in Costa Rica I stayed a few days in Carara. 1 day I took a guided fullday birdingtour in Carara National Park with Jason. Jason was incredibly friendly, patient and knowledgeable about birds and birdcalls. He worked very hard to find my target birds During our tour we had 64 species including mangrove hummingbird, 4 species of trogons, blue-crowned, red-capped and orange-collared manakin and a close up of great tinamou. If you are thinking about taking a trip to Costa Rica and carara/Manuel Antonio area Jason is the perfect bird guide for you

Bird viewing with Jason Solano

Published on Feb, 2020

Jason is an excellent guide - very patient to show us birds on the 'dream list'; loves to teach and share his passion. He worked very hard to make sure we see some specific birds. He is very knowledgeable and experienced. This is a great location - we saw 65 species (all new to me) including some uncommon species.
