We really liked the experience in the canals, in a very secluded place as an alternative to Tortuguero.

This was an amazing experience to discover the north and east side of Costa Rica. We really liked the experience in the canals, in a very secluded place as an alternative to Tortuguero. All the itinerary was well planned, well executed with no delays and great service. We loved the people of Costa Rica!

Roberto, we were talking with our friends and we all agreed Costa Rica was one of God’s beautiful creations and the people of Costa Rica are wonderfully welcoming. We found ourselves liberally tipping at every opportunity. We loved the trip and would like to thank you deeply for organizing it.
