Recently went there with my 5 year old daughter. We loved wandering the trails and paths, it is an amazing Garden of Eden! Saw so many birds, frogs, bugs, butterflies, a sleeping sloth, a porcupine, and more. The house and rooms is lovely and well kept, the hosts and staff very warm and caring. I recommend it for non-professional bird... More

We just returned from 7 days in paradise at Guapi Assu. Fantastic hosts in Nicholas and Rachel and wonderful accomodation. Loved the Caipihrainias at the end of a long birding day.

This is a great place for anyone wanting to see birds in particular but wildlife in general. In 3 days I saw about 140 bird species. A guide was provided and invaluable for finding forest birds.
