Ana,

Just want to let you know that we had a great trip to Costa Rica. Our reservations at Arenal Lodge and Finca Valverde worked out perfectly and we were pleased with both places. Thank you so much for your help.

Hi Ana

Our main computer crashed yesterday, perhaps taking your recent email and all my Costa Rica pictures into the great unknown with it, so this reply won't include any pictures.

Ana, your Nature Lover's Delight was more than a delight - it was just a wonderful time.  We have tried to pick our favorite part, but it can't be done - too many good things.  Everything went smoothly and according to plan so that we could enjoy the beautiful country and not be distracted by having to deal with problems. The accommodations were almost too good, because leaving Arenal Kioro or Arenas Del Mar after only a night or two was a little difficult. And the gorgeous Grano de Oro restaurant, with its superb meals, is unforgettable. Other than exploring the country in general, our focus was on birding and we weren't disappointed, thanks to the many knowledgeable guides on the various tours. And speaking of guides, Gerardo was just great - knowledgeable, helpful, accommodating, fun (and, right at the end, barely able to speak - I hope he's well.) And eagle-eyed! - no one can find birds as well as he does. One other point: although there were lots of activities and plenty to do, we never felt rushed and had a relaxing time.

We spent 3 more weeks in Costa Rica. Some highlights were watching the leatherback turtle nesting at the national park at Playa Grande, a couple of nights at the Cano Negro Nature Lodge with great birding tours, and driving around the very pretty and interesting "route of the saints" region south of San Jose.

So we had a great time in Costa Rica and would recommend the Nature Lover's Delight to anyone interested in the natural resources of the country.

Thanks for a wonderful time!

En Diciembre de 2009 tuvimos la suerte de visitar por 16 dias Costa Rica, un viaje maravilloso que nos preparo Rain Fores Tour  donde no falto nada, recorrimos Desde Tortuguero pasando por el Volcan Arenal,el bosque nublado de Monteverde, San Jose y la zona de Guanascate y sus hermosas playas
Tamarindo, Samara, Flamingo.

No podemos decir que nos gusto más, el paisaje, los hoteles, la gente. Es un Pais para repetir.

Gracias  fue simplemente perfecto.

Pura Vida

Dear Mrs Ana

I was in Costarica the last 5/1/2010 and you arrange for me the transfer from San Josè to Barcelo Hotel Tambor Beach.

I want say to you that I am very satisfied of your services and I appreciate your professionality so certainly will contact your agency for my next tour in Costa Rica.

Yours faithfully

Hi, Ana!

We have made it back to the cold US.  We all thank you for the work you performed on our trip.  All the folks in our party plan to tell our friends and associates about your organization and how helpful you were.

Hopefully, we can convince our friends to think of you when planning a trip to your wonderful country.

Again, we thank you very much.

Dear Ana

I have been meaning to email since our return from Costa Rica. I will tell you that 4 of the 5 people who went on the trip said it was the best trip they had ever taken (and we have been on quite a few good ones). The only one who didn't have fun was my six year old who became very ill while we were there requiring a visit to the hospital. Not sure if he picked up something before we left home as a lot of people were sick here or whether he drank too much water out of the Penas Blanca river when the kids jumped off the rope swing.

Having said that I can't thank you enough for all you did for us. Every moment of every day was perfect. We enjoyed everything from Tabacon to ziplining to Monteverde to Manuel Antonio. The kids loved Tulemar because of the private beach where we spent three great days.

I would repeat the whole trip tomorrow if I could. What a beautiful country and people you all are. Especially Allan who made transitions from one venue to the next easy and without stress. He even helped us get antibiotics for Julian when we first arrived.

I could go on and on about all the great things on the trip. We will be in touch soon (I hope) about a return trip!!!!

All the best


Ps. If you would like me to write a testimonial other than the above, I would be happy to!
