My years of observing animals has given me expert spotting skills, so I can help you find animals that are hiding in plain sight. This park is home to a wide variety of animal species, which includes monkeys, sloths, frogs, snakes, lizards, birds, interesting insects and so much more. As we encounter each animal, I will describe their behaviors, habitats, and more.

My family and I will explain our coffee farming experience so you'll have a better idea of what your lovely coffee means. Coffee unites us, and we'll help you understand the market so you can choose better, and why organic farming is so different from what you may think. You'll learn about the realities of farming from real farmers who aren't using chemicals to produce an excellent cup of coffee. We'll spend almost one hour talking about the process, and help you understand coffee and farming with an open mind. We'll see the plants, the roasting, and the brewing. You'll discover how to make a better cup of coffee, how to get what you want from a java cup, and learn about other products made with the coffee fruit.
