The Manzanillo reintroduction station is located in a primary tropical rainforest at almost 100 m above sea level. The visitors are directed to the top of a hill for a once in a lifetime experience to view Endangered Great Green Macaws in free flight that we have reintroduced into the wild. This tour is a truly inspiring natural experience and a unique photographic opportunity.

You're given a lot of interesting and relevant information about the macaws and the project before you can walk up to the viewing platforms. The views over the valley, all primary forest is really nice. The macaws are around, basically all day long. But the real action starts at snack-time. Even if you are not a birder, this is a very nice place to visit and to see these stunning (wild!) birds at close range.

Simply the single best way to spend a night in Costa Rica, or anywhere in the world! Peter has built a unique place, and has kept it unique by not mass producing and making it too easy! Even though I'm scared of heights, I got both up and down fine with help from our great guides. There was also a heavy rainstorm at night, but I never felt unsafe in the treehouse. The cloud touched the trees at times and the rainforest lived up to its name, but we still saw lots of monkeys, even a throwing fruit and branches fight between howler monkeys and spider monkeys on the tree next to the treehouse! Furthermore we saw a white falcon, tucans, parrots, parakeets, and on the trek we saw an eyelash viper, three different poison dart frogs and plenty of cool bugs! Good binoculars and species books are available in the tree! After almost a month in CR I can safely say Peter was the best wildlife spotter I had the pleasure to encounter. Some people say it is if it is a bit expensive, but you get both a tour, a dinner and an overnight stay that you will remember for the rest of your life. In addition there is a true care for nature and native rights in this company! I will surely book two nights if I get a chance to come back!

Manzanillo Beach became one of our favourite beaches in all of Costa Rica. It is a great beach for taking long walks on, it has soft, white sand, and it is great for swimming (especially along the main stretch in town). A special surprise was getting sunsets which isn't too common on the Caribbean coast.

Yes it’s gorgeous. Drive past Maxi’s down a dirt sometimes gravel road (short walk if arriving by one of the many local buses). Many days the shaded area off the beach are filled with families grilling and chilling. Hey bring your cooler. At the end of the short road you’ll find the little suspension bridge for the easy mostly level trail. At the end a gorgeous scenic selfy ready vista. Drop down and explore the beach area (check out other reviewers photos). Before the walk a very nice beach with snorkel ready clear water and close reefs. Hungry thirsty? Local grocers right there, food, beer, more. Lazy? Places to eat galore within walking distance. We’ve been before but going back again tomorrow.
