Thoughts on Group Leader
Andres was an exceptional group leader - the best mix of educator and entertainer. He is very knowledgeable and passionate about flora and fauna and we learned so much about the rich biodiversity of Costa Rica.
He also kept us interested and amused with information about culture, politics, education and more personal tales, when his sense of humour shone through.
He was very concerned for our safety and well being, making sure we were always aware of any potential dangers/problems.
Advice for Potential Travellers
As advised in the notes, pack for a variety of weathers. We were lucky and had mostly lovely warm/hot weather but also a few cooler days with the inevitable rain when waterproofs were useful.
There are a couple of opportunities for doing laundry as items do take a long time to dry.
Suggestions
All the hotels, except the one in Monteverde, were very comfortable and often quite special .
Food was always beautifully presented and delicious. In fact, we would say that we ate too much daily and a lighter lunch option would have been welcome.
Go on this amazing trip - you definitely won’t regret it!
