Wonderful Country!

Costa Rica lived up to all of my hopes & expectations, a truly beautiful & varied country

Most Inspirational Moment

Each stop was totally different from the last, so lots of variety. Absolutely loved the hotel at Rio Perdido, truly a special place, and relaxing in the natural thermal river was wonderful

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our leader was Randall, a very special guide. Was always cheerful, and wanting us to get the very best from our trip. His knowledge was absolutely astounding, and couldn’t wait to share this with us.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Some of the road journeys could be long and bumpy, however the changing landscapes and destinations made it worthwhile

Pura Vida indeed

Well organised tour, that allowed us to discover and enjoy different areas of exceptional natural beauty in a welcoming country.
The tour started slowly, but by day 6 / La Fortuna Waterfall, it became more paced and more choices of activities were available.
Apart from the hotel at Monteverde, subpar in comparison to the others, (our room was in a kind of basement with a view to a wall, and the breakfast was of a limited choice) we enjoyed the hotels.
Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River was outstanding.

Most Inspirational Moment

Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Rio Perdido Hotel & Thermal River, and the beach at Tamarindo. The trip to and the activities to Tortuguero could have been better.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Randall, our very knowledgeable tour guide, and a good organiser, was full of energy, optimism, and fun and opened our eyes to many natural wonders, that otherwise, we would have passed by without noticing.

Pura Vida Costa Rica - Premium Adventure

Guide/tour leader Randall was superior in every way. His getting us to see two turtle hatchlings race to the sea was the highlight of the trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Watching two turtle hatchlings race from nest in the sand to the sea.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I cannot imagine a better guide/tour leader. He was perfection.

Pura Vida Costa Rica - Premium Adventure

The baby turtles we saw making their way to the sea. The variety of the landscape and animals. Our excellent guide, Randall, made our trip so interesting .

Thoughts on Group Leader

Randall has just won a prestigious prize as the best Costa Rican guide. How lucky were we!

Pura Vida Costa Rica - Premium Adventure

Randell Obsney was a really good know knowledgeable guide.

Most Inspirational Moment

Zip lining and tubing

Thoughts on Group Leader

Great leader. Very good at adjusting to circumstances. Very sociable and easy to talk to. Very knowledgeable.

Totally immersive

The trip did not disappoint. Being able to share our time in Costa Rica with like minded people only served to enhance the experience. The biodiversity was exceptional and our guide, as well as the local guides, certainly knew where to look to give us the most memorable experience.

Most Inspirational Moment

Bathing in the warm river at Rio Perdido was really special and a fantastic way to round off a day of zip lining and white water rafting. The Howler Monkeys' serenade at dawn was certainly worth getting up for.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We were blessed to have Johnny as our leader. His knowledge of all things Costa Rica was outstanding. Whether it was wildlife, biodiversity, history, economics, agriculture and he even surprised us on our way back to the city when he briefed us all on art history

Advice for Potential Travellers

We travelled in the 'dry' season but even so a pair of sensible shoes for walking was a must. Trainers sufficed but I suggest something more substantial in the wetter times.

Don’t understand

It was a wonderful trip. We enjoyed every moment.

Most Inspirational Moment

First seeing a wild toucan at Tortugera.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was Johnny Villalobos. He was outstanding in every way. He had a very good way with people and, specifically, he was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wildlife that we had come to see; and proud of Costa Rica’s role in world conservation. We wish to nominate him for the Exodus Annual Leader Awards (Trip Code AHP 230212)

Advice for Potential Travellers

Days in the highlands are wetter, colder and windier than you would imagine. Good walking shoes/boots or trainers are essential.
