Add your own reviewTotally immersive
The trip did not disappoint. Being able to share our time in Costa Rica with like minded people only served to enhance the experience. The biodiversity was exceptional and our guide, as well as the local guides, certainly knew where to look to give us the most memorable experience.
Most Inspirational Moment
Bathing in the warm river at Rio Perdido was really special and a fantastic way to round off a day of zip lining and white water rafting. The Howler Monkeys' serenade at dawn was certainly worth getting up for.
Thoughts on Group Leader
We were blessed to have Johnny as our leader. His knowledge of all things Costa Rica was outstanding. Whether it was wildlife, biodiversity, history, economics, agriculture and he even surprised us on our way back to the city when he briefed us all on art history
Advice for Potential Travellers
We travelled in the 'dry' season but even so a pair of sensible shoes for walking was a must. Trainers sufficed but I suggest something more substantial in the wetter times.
Don’t understand
It was a wonderful trip. We enjoyed every moment.
Most Inspirational Moment
First seeing a wild toucan at Tortugera.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader was Johnny Villalobos. He was outstanding in every way. He had a very good way with people and, specifically, he was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the wildlife that we had come to see; and proud of Costa Rica’s role in world conservation. We wish to nominate him for the Exodus Annual Leader Awards (Trip Code AHP 230212)
Advice for Potential Travellers
Days in the highlands are wetter, colder and windier than you would imagine. Good walking shoes/boots or trainers are essential.
Suggestions
To enjoy Costa Rican wildlife you need to be in a small group with an expert guide. Without those two things you may find that you have seen immense amounts of green jungle and little else. The flight from London to San Jose is the best part of eleven hours direct, and Premium Economy seats hard to come by. Exodus was very good in finding alternative routes with the required seating.
