A chance to explore Costa Rica ourselves…

We knew we wanted to see Costa Rica but we didn't know where to start. Especially since we’re both near retirement, we thought this would be a good opportunity to scout out what Costa Rica is like. Hugo really helped us through hashing out the details and making sure the activities fit our needs and capabilities. We rented a car through Anywhere and began our adventure through the country!

I’ll never forget this experience...

At Tamarindo, we stayed at a great hotel — Tamarindo Daria. The howler monkeys climbing up the trees and looking in our bedroom window was AMAZING! I can’t stop talking about Costa Rican cuisine — the food was SO good and fresh. We even bought some Lizano sauce to bring home.

We want to come back again…

Monteverde was beautiful; the weather was cool and comfortable. To be honest, I wish we had arranged to stay here for a few more days. On the last day, we stayed at Vara Blanca and were simply blown away by the environment and the view. This was the most magnificent way to end our vacation and head back to Alaska. Anywhere did a great job arranging this trip! The people we talked to were intelligent and happy to be living in Costa Rica.
