We did the night walk with Finca Modelo Ecologica and despite the horrible weather, it was raining quite heavily we loved it!
We did the climb to the tree which was a top of the night tour, walk 2 hrs along their private finca and had a lovely local dinner.
It is a family run business so we were very happy to help somebody local as well.
I definitely recommend the night tour with them, specially if you have kids!
What a great experience. I shared this with my 18 year old son. We had an amazing time and all I can say is I hope this creates a legacy for him to do with his kids. Leaves a smile on your face and then some.
I did Waterfall Rappelling (Canyoning) and Tree Climbing with Familia Brenes (
Finca Modelo Ecologica), both were overwhelming.
At the Canyoning, we had to pass 6 waterfalls, the largest is 40 meters high. Pure adrenaline.
The tree climbing was great. We climbed it from inside, from outside and using a rope. It was challenging and rewarding. Real adventure.
The team was super professional. We felt we are in good hands at all times.
This day in Monteverde was on of my best days in Costa Rica. I'm very glad I had the chance to experience these amazing activities with Familia Brenes.
The team is knowledgeable and safe.
My wife was concerned about her knee, but she was able to tackle it all.
We ended up joining a large group so there were a few waits at the longest falls. That just gave us a chance to connect with our new friends from Belgium and Portugal.
All in all a great time.

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!
