I don't know how to begin to explain how amazing the Finca Modelo Ecologica tours are. My wife and I did the ficus tree climbing/night walk/dinner tour, as well as the canyoning (waterfall repelling) tour the next morning. Both tours were affordable and INCREDIBLE! I could have paid double what I did and still felt like it was a good value. Junior was our guide for the night walk tour, and he was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and good-natured. They even included transportation to and from Monteverde/Santa Elena hotels! I would recommend the familia Brenes to anyone who is looking for adventure and a good time!

My partner and I did the canyoning tour through Finca Modelo Ecologica during the rainy season in Costa Rica. We have never experienced anything quite so rewarding after rappelling ourselves down the various waterfalls. The combination of the natural beauty of the waterfalls and gorges with the challenge of rappelling down them was truly amazing. Waterfall #4 which was 43 metres high particularly stood out as the highlight of the tour as it was so challenging. It was amazing to look back up once we had reached the bottom and contemplate how on Earth we actually done it! The staff were very professional and safety conscious whilst also having a laugh with our group. Would 100% recommend this to anybody visiting not only Monteverde but Costa Rica in general!
