Costa Rica: From Sea to Mountains

I enjoyed Tortuguero Park and the wildlife - monkeys, parrots, sloths, etc. The early morning kayak trip was great. The rafting trip was fun - and I didn't fall out of the raft!

Sharing it with new and old friends, zip lining, rafting, the birds, butterfly garden

All of the activities such as kayaking and ziplining, the opportunity to learn about Costa Rica, the wonderful group of women, and the great guides.

Great itinerary. Well taken care of by our guides.

Zip lining in jungle canopy. Kayak in river

The guides were fabulous, the trip was organized . My highlights are numerous. The rafting, kayaking and of course zip lining were a few. Seeing as much of Costa Rica by boat was a great highlight.

More cat time than expected.

Seeing the toucans, rafting, zip line, kayaking rain forest, everything was awesome.

Both the AGC guide and the local guide did outstanding jobs making all comfortable. The interactions with local Costa Ricans and being introduced to interesting and valuable projects in ecotourism went a long way toward developing good will.

I very much enjoyed to experience the nature of the rain forest flowers, plants, and wildlife. Enjoyed the food, the culture, etc.

Highlights: Tortuguero National Park: kayaking, wildlife watching, walking along the ocean; La Fortuna: Hot Springs, swimming in the pools at Selva Verde and the Tortuguero National Park Lodge. Also, the butterfly farm, night hike, cashew tree, and orchid gardens. Difficulties: Had hoped to spend more time in the Cloud forest. Would have liked more time to explore the wildlife at the lodges, Selva Verde in particular. The rafting trip was too commercialized and rowdy--although a lot of the women enjoyed that. I could have done with less shopping too. Meals at restaurants were far too long and complicated -- I often found myself isolated at long tables with loud people talking all around me but not in actual conversation.

I loved the Mawamba Lodge. The variety of food was amazing. I loved the diversity of activities there. The local guide, Cat, brought us to very special places. Some of these places I don't believe would be places you would find on trip adviser. Cat was very knowledgable. I appreciate having a guide who is so passionate about their country.
