South Pacific & Highlands Explorer Costa Rica

South Pacific & Highlands Explorer

We are nature enthusiasts, and Anywhere did not let us down when planning this trip. We met several other couples on the snorkeling and rainforest trips, then enjoyed sharing meals with them and had great conversations — all part of the Costa Rican experience.

Looking for nature and adventure…

We were interested in a nature-oriented exploration of one or two areas of Costa Rica, particularly in the Osa Peninsula or the cloud forest at San Gerardo de Dota. We are fit and active 65-year-olds who enjoy bird and wildlife watching, hiking, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, and other nature adventures. We’ve been looking forward to Costa Rica because of the beautiful environment and the opportunity to do some photography and nice sketches!

The best place we’ve stayed at...

At our first stop, Uvita, we stayed at La Cusinga Lodge, which is probably the most beautiful place we stayed at. Their staff was exceptional. Birding was great and the trails were challenging but wonderful.

We’ll always remember Costa Rica because...

Our drivers were all great ambassadors of the country. They were great tour guides who knew a lot about the countryside we were traveling through and gave us great insights into the culture of Costa Rica. We had a wonderful time and have already recommended Costa Rica and Anywhere to many of our friends.
