点评:Rafael is one of a kind. We actually toured with him 13 yrs ago and felt compelled to revisit the cloud forest with him again when we returned to Costa Rica with the entire family. His passion for the forest and the wildlife within it shines through in everything he says and does. My wife is a huge bird lover, and he instinctually knew how to adjust his tour to her passions. (We chased the sounds of a Bell bird for 30 min until we successfully saw it.) He engaged my children very well asking them educational questions, and even teased them a bit to keep it lively. We came back to him after 13 yrs for a reason, and he did not disappoint. He is widely known in the area as the guide who is fluent in French, but we used him for English, and he is perfect. We found the bell bird, a pit viper (safely in a tree from a distance), many Coati and Agouti, a Toucan nest with parent returning to feed the little ones, more birds than I can name, and many lessons on the flora in the forest. Please call Rafael for your visit to Monteverde/Santa Elena. You will not be disappointed!
翻译:拉斐尔真是个独一无二的人。13年前,我们和他一起旅行过,全家回到哥斯达黎加后,我们忍不住想和他重游云雾森林。他对森林和其中野生动物的热爱,体现在他的一言一行中。我的妻子是一位超级鸟类爱好者,他本能地知道如何根据她的兴趣调整行程。(我们追了半个小时,终于看到一只钟形鸟的叫声。)他总是能很好地吸引我的孩子们,问他们一些有教育意义的问题,甚至还会逗他们玩,让孩子们保持活跃。13年后,我们又回到了他这里,这是有原因的,他没有让我们失望。他是当地著名的导游,精通法语,但我们请他讲英语,他的英语讲得非常好。我们发现了铃鸟、一条蝮蛇(安全地待在远处的树上)、许多长鼻浣熊和刺豚鼠、一个巨嘴鸟巢,它的父母回来喂食小鸟,还有数不胜数的鸟类,以及许多关于森林植物的课程。如果您要来蒙特维多/圣埃伦娜游玩,请致电拉斐尔。您一定不会失望!
