"This trip in Costa Rica was honestly such an amazing trip!! There was such a variety of activities and things you normally wouldn't get to experience (like the homestay with a local family). We got to experience all different environments from jungles to hot springs and ending in a beach paradise! Luis was THE best guide with amazing vibes and every food item he recommended was delicious and very south American/Costa Rican cuisine

From the thoughtful initial destination and activities through the last one, everything was absolutely perfect. The lodging selections.
