    This trip could not have been better organised. I absolutely loved every single place we visited. Plenty of free time at each site, and lots of relevant information at places where that was necessary. Our guides, Erhard (Mexico) and Aquilino (Belize and Guatemala), were both wonderful. I would recommend this trip to anyone considering visiting Central America.

    What an unforgettable and memorable trip! Very well organized! Our tour guide Marvin Lopez made the experience incredible. His in depth knowledge on Costa Rica’s bio diversity, culture, history, agriculture and wildlife was impressive. The group fell right into being comfortable and feeling safe due to his leadership.
