    About

    Curi-Cancha Reserve is a favourite among naturalists: a rich mix of cloud forest and open garden trails that reads very well for Resplendent Quetzals, hummingbirds, trogons and mammals, with far fewer visitors than the busier reserves. Your bilingual naturalist knows where and when to look and keeps a relaxed, wildlife-first pace. Available as a shared walk on a fixed departure or as a private walk when you want flexible timing — the usual choice for families with young children, multigenerational groups and photographers. Reserve entrance is included. Transport to the meeting point is quoted separately by hotel and zone. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
