Costa Rica

Your overall comments on the trip and the travel company:

Trip was great and arrangements went very smoothly. Our agent was very helpful and patient with my many questions, and cheerfully dug for needed answers. Operations group was also very helpful as we occasionally needed assistance outside of work hours. Having the contact in Costa Rica was invaluable and a key reason that we selected this agency.

What were the most enjoyable or memorable parts of your trip?

Our ecolodge provided some great moments on our deck with beautiful views and great wildlife. It also was a bit draining with heat/humidity and lots of stairs. But it was a wonderful experience that we will always remember. Kura was simply a beautiful property with the friendliest staff - it provided a needed break during a busy trip. Tortuga provided some wonderful and serene views of some terrific wildlife. Monteverde was plagued with T-storms and heavy rain, but gave us a beautiful quetzal - magical bird. Cano Negro was also relaxing and exciting at the same time with interesting wildlife around every turn in the river.

If you could take your trip again, what would you do differently?

Although our cloud forest lodge was an experience, it was very cold and disappointing bird-wise. But it was included as a fall-back to see the quetzal, and we had no way of knowing ahead of time that we would have already gotten good looks at it in Monteverde. They did not seem to have very much focus on any other birdlife. With perfect hindsight, we would have skipped this lodge.
