Cerro Lodge

Highlights?: There were so many. Seeing a toucan land in the tree just by our room at El Remanso. Walking down the trail at Monteverde Lodge and a beautiful Morpho butterfly fluttering past in the sunlight. The boat ride at Tortuguero.

KS, Uxbridge

AD, Ilkley

AF, Cardiff

So much variety of wildlife and vegetation

AB, Sandy

Highlight?: All the wildlife, absolutely amazing

DJ, Usk

Everything was good.  An unexpected highlight was the chocolate tour to the local conservation chocolate plantation in Sarapiqui.

DS, Coventry

Fantastic

The noises and sounds surrounding us all day and night, created by all the wildlife was fantastic. Never heard anything like it and loved it. The Costa Rican hospitability is something to live up to they have it right!

St, Swords

There were so many highlights it is difficult to single one out. The wildlife, around hotel gardens etc and not just in the reserves, was particularly impressive. Viewing it from a boat at Tortuguero and Cana Nedra was particularly enjoyable. Tthe countryside is varied and beautiful so that even the transfers were a pleasure.

VC, South croydon

Highlights:- The friendliness of the people and the wildlife. 

ME

The whole Tortuguero experience was brilliant.

TK, Leighton buzzard

We always ask each other what the highlight was, but always fail.  It was really the variety.  There is really so much to remember.

Costa Rica lived up to our expectations in every way. We all had a fantastic family holiday.

EJ, London

Amazing experiences

So many memorable experiences - flying into Tortuguero, watching turtle hatchlings race to the sea, the boat ride out of Tortuguero, all the animals (including a mummy sloth with baby attached climb down a tree in the middle of a restaurant and then back up again), Monteverde scenery, Tamarindo beach, our son learning to surf, snorkelling in Cahuita and seeing a turtle and a nurse shark, how lovely the Costa Rican people are.

SM, Chiswick

Most memorable experience: "The amount and variety of wildlife in Tortuguero and Cahuita (which we visited separately). I lived in San Jose from 1978-1981 and never saw so much variety, even including visits to Monteverde...Review: As I used to live in CR and planned some time visiting friends, JLA was able to combine my choice of places to visit with accommodation with my independent arrangements."

JW, Crowborough

Most memorable experiences: White water rafting. Watching the turtles at Tortuguero. Everything about Montverde.

RA, Lichfield

Most Memorable Moment?: There are a few but being so close to wildlife during the journey was amazing!!!

JW, London

Most Memorable Moment?: So many highlights that it is difficult to pick any one out - but the evening trip to the Turtle beach at Tortuguero, seeing Green Sea Turtles laying eggs and returning to the sea, was quite incredible.

DD, Holmfirth

Highlights?: The drive Ranch Margot round Lake Arenal, staying there, seeing humming birds feeding from flowers a metre from our bungalow veranda, kayaking in the shadow of the amazing volcano.

JH, London

Costa Rica as a whole was very impressive in its attitude towards eco-tourism. Actively reforesting areas that have previously been de-forested and setting up new areas of rain forest/park.

BC, N19

Highlights? Bosque Del Cabo, Rafiki and Maquenque, absolutely wonderful.

ASP, Bexhill-on-sea

Highlights?: Very hard to select 1 or 2 things. However would probably say Travelling to and staying at Tortuga Lodge and the excursions into the Jungle (in 3 days we saw over 60 different birds / mammals / reptiles !!!) and also the Zip lining at Arenal - breathtaking and exhilarating - what views and what an adrenalin rush ! ! ...Costa Rica is an amazing country - small, but with so much to offer and so diverse ! The people were very friendly and welcoming and the weather was great !

TW, Glasgow

Everything was organised like clockwork but without feeling intrusive.  The whole itinerary fully met our needs with fabulous hotels and some really exiting journeys.  The flight from Punta Islita being a particular highlight, along with the journey from Arenal to MonteVerde.  Costa Rica with Journey Latin America is one of the best holidays we have ever had, if not the best.  Thank you and particularly to Hannah.”

LD, Harpenden

The treks throughout the trip were superb. Excellent guides and the range of wildlife was stunning.

WRDT, Bakewell

Highlights?: Seeing the Quetzal with Carlos; finding the MotMot on our own at La Quinta; seeing the Eyelash Pit Viper on the Hanging Bridges trip; all of the 5 days with Esteban and Alberto were brilliant (and my husband seeing the Roseate Spoonbill and Jabiru at Palo Verde - I loved the Fiery Aricaris a few feet in front of us at Rio Magnolia). In all we saw 234 species of birds.

MCB, Stockport

So hard to pick out an individually memorable part. If pushed then we would have to select the two river wildlife trips (Tortuguero and Cano Negro) and overall the friendly nature of everyone that we had dealings with. Also having the wildlife right on our doorstep at each accommodation was very special.

SY, Solihull

It is difficult to single out any one part as being most memorable. For me (as a geologist) the trip to Poas Volcano was great. The ziplining at Punta Islita was superb.

RH, Peterborough

Most memorable experience: "Diversity of the country. Outstanding bird life and flora and fauna.Very friendly and helpful people."

RC, Lymington

Highlight?: Visit to Tortuguero was exciting and remote. Rancho Margot was our favourite accommodation. It was a privilege to visit this beautiful country. 

MC, Arlesly

Costa Rica with Journey Latin America is one of the best holidays we have ever had, if not the best.
