- AMike· April 7th, 2023There were many highlights on this trip that it is difficult to pick out one or two. I particularly enjoyed Tortuguero, and the wildlife and bird walks. We saw so many different species thanks to guide who was excellent. I also enjoyed our the cholcolate and coffee tours, and learning about banana and pineapple production. I thought the standard of hotel that we stayed in was excellent. The setting and gardens, particularly at Volcano Lodge and Cristal Ballena were really beautiful. I think it added to the holiday.Show moreTrip date: March 2023Review collected by Explore!
