Our favorite part of the trip was experiencing all of the wildlife, monkeys, birds, butterflies and the scenery was GORGEOUS! Each portion of our two-week stay went according to plan, and we have many fond memories for our next trip!
Our first time with so much adventure!
For this Costa Rica trip, we were most interested in seeing wildlife, experiencing the cloud forest, and trying zip lining at least once! Our travel planner was SO helpful in suggesting adventures, hotels, and transportation to fit both our budget and our lifestyle. Our favorite part of the trip was experiencing all of the wildlife, monkeys, birds, butterflies, and the scenery was GORGEOUS!
You must visit this part of Costa Rica…
The guided tour at Manuel Antonio National Park iss amazing. We saw many monkeys, birds, and raccoons. The area is just beautiful. Make sure you go in the morning before the crowd gets there. The fresh fruit at the end of the tour really hit the spot. We stayed at the Jungle Beach Hotel and oh my gosh...the Capuchin Monkeys were hilarious! They were climbing on the trees right outside our room. They’ve got great freshly prepared breakfast each morning! It was nice to be able to just take a short walk to the beach also.
A well-rounded trip with expert support at all times!
We enjoyed all five regions — Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Tortuguero, La Fortuna/Arenal, and Guanacaste, which were all different but very enjoyable. Each portion of our two-week stay went according to plan and we have many fond memories for our next trip!
