点评:We had an amazing experience with our guide José A. Huertas (along with Captain Adrian and Lionel on the boat). José quickly understood that we had already seen a lot of Costa Rican wildlife. He asked if we were comfortable with a faster pace and then expertly focused on finding the special species we were still hoping to see, rather than spending extra time on animals we'd already encountered (like monkeys and trogons).
Even before reaching the National Park, José made sure we stopped to see a Cocos Booby colony from the boat, and we paused again for dolphins. Once in the park, the day was rewarding: we saw Baird's Tapir, an anteater, sloths (of course), all the monkey species, and bats.
Although our bird list was already extensive, José managed to spot a few more species for us (not the flashiest ones, but exactly what we were looking for). He was energetic and efficient with the spotting scope, taking photos of nearly every species we observed.
José was attentive, cheerful, and easy to talk to. We truly couldn't have asked for a better guide!
Highly recommended for anyone looking for an efficient, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic wildlife experience.
翻译:我们和向导何塞·A·韦尔塔斯(以及船上的船长阿德里安和莱昂内尔)度过了一段美好的时光。何塞很快就意识到我们已经见过很多哥斯达黎加的野生动物。他询问我们是否愿意加快行程节奏,然后便专注于寻找我们仍然希望看到的珍稀物种,而不是把时间浪费在我们已经见过的动物(比如猴子和咬鹃)上。
甚至在到达国家公园之前,何塞就特意安排我们停下来,从船上观赏科科斯鲣鸟群,之后我们又停下来观赏了海豚。进入公园后,这一天收获颇丰:我们看到了贝氏貘、食蚁兽、树懒(当然少不了)、各种猴子以及蝙蝠。
虽然我们已经记录了很多鸟类,但何塞还是帮我们找到了几种新的鸟类(虽然不是最引人注目的,但正是我们想要看到的)。他精力充沛,使用观鸟镜也十分高效,几乎拍下了我们观察到的每一种鸟类的照片。
何塞热情周到、开朗健谈,我们真的找不到比他更好的向导了!
强烈推荐给所有想要体验高效、专业且充满热情的野生动物之旅的人。
