Puerto Viejo de Talamanca Tours in Winter

The tour was great due to a very dedicated and inspiring guide and well chosen regions and places in CR. The activity level was just right and the variety in landscape and activity really wonderful.

Brilliant fantastic awesome fabulous. However I was surprised at how very expensive it had become. Maybe it was Christmas . But it was a tad expensive . But please I know Cesar made it for all of us . He was always there for us . The best guide ever and I seriously mean that.Generous of spirit , humour to speak our language perfectly but to make jokes . Amazing man. He shared his extensive knowledge of animals,plants,fauna & the history of Costa Rica. I cannot give enough praise to Cesar. Amazing place. Pura Vida.?????

Our trip to Costa Rica and Panama introduced us to some famous places and some interesting out-of-the-way places. There was a nice balance of organized activities and time on our own. We had many opportunities to meet local people and experience the culture of the countries, which we really valued.

The drivers and guides were mostly exceptional, especially Dany and Felipe. Joe at La Selva, Sebastian in Tortuguero, Jesus at Monteverde and Jose at Corcovado were also brilliant guides. We were less impressed by those on the Cano Island snorkeling trip and didnt like the Arenal guide asking for tips on both trips (we would voluntarily). Accommodation was very nice, especially Cala Lodge, Las Caletas and Suria. We were impressed with the itinerary, the organisation/timings and all the bookings were fine. Some questions were asked about the return boat vouchers to Sierpe when they requested cash however this was resolved. The only place we wouldnt return to is Dominical as it didnt have the same safe and friendly feeling. Overall we really enjoyed it and hope to come back to Costa Rica and would use GWA again.
