"Dear Andy [Tucker]:
[We] were most fortunate in the allocation of guides... The knowledge of Xavier Munoz from Naturetrek and Juan Tapia of The National Park must be unparallel.
They were brilliant!!!"

Dear Xavier,
The trip [NEBLINA FOREST organized] went very smoothly and was a big success I think. We've already had some nice donations [for the Jocotoco Foundation] from it, with a promise of more in the future… (Robert S. Ridgely*, Feb 05, 2007)
