Travel Review: Costa Rica Vacation, Manuel Antonio, Arenal, Corcovado National Park, Cona National Park Snorkeling, Zip Line Tour

Wow- what a great vacation we had in Costa Rica.  We are very experienced travelers, therefore we usually plan and book our own foreign travel, but we just did not have enough time this year.  Through Zicasso Travel, we worked with these agents with this Costa Rica travel company to help plan our trip- the process was easy and fast to get an active itinerary nailed down. Costa Rica has plenty to see and do so we wanted door to door service to maximize our 8 full vacation days. 

Part 1: The first two days we spent at Arenal Volcano visiting La Paz waterfall garden, going on a Safari Adventure and then rounded out the day on a canopy zip line.  

Part 2: We took a quick flight to Drake Bay/Corcovado National Park.  Getting to the Drake Bay Lodge was an adventure in itself- plane, 4 wheel drive, then boat to the lodge.  All went smoothly. We spent several days touring Corcovado National Park, basically a zoo outdoors, and snorkeling at Cona National Park.  The area was very remote and not filled with many tourists. 

Part 3: We took a boat from Drake Bay by boat to Siepe and were picked up and brought to our Hotel in Manual Antonio.  The hotel had a great view and was centrally located within the Manual Antonio area.  We took a guided a hike into Manual Antonio then at the end of the day spent time at the part on our own- recommended by our agent. On our last day we went on a wonderful Horseback ride to a remote waterfall
