- MWMorgan· November 18th, 2024This was a total enjoyment, stress-free holiday! The trip was very well-organized. It was so wonderful to have all of our transports, lodging, and activities arranged. All the transports, rooms, and resorts were spotless, comfortable, and beautiful. Truly exceeded my expectations. It was an unforgettable holiday. I have 2 suggestions: 1) Include Day 5 on the print-out itinerary. 2) Provide a better explanation of the travel involved on day 6 from Tortuguero to Puerto Viejo (e.g. explain that after a 2 hour boat ride and 2 hour transport, you will take another 5 hour transport to Puerto Viejo).Show more
