Amazing trip! Was able to see so much in quite a short period of time. Face paced travel but was a good amount of time at each location. Our CEO Adrian Ramirez was an absolute legend, super insightful and made sure every leg of the trip ran smoothly. 10/10

This was my first Contiki trip & I'm not sure that any holiday will ever be the same! I had the most amazing time in Costa Rica with the best group of people. From chill beach days to zip lining over the rainforest we did such a variety of things but still had plenty of free time (in Monteverde we used our free time to go & do the highest bungee in Central America!). Our trip manager & driver were incredible & really made the trip unforgettable with crazy knowledge of the local areas & wildlife. Pura Vida!
