I booked this trip for my daughter and me. She wanted action and adventure, every day, and this trip delivered. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the hotels. Much nicer than I expected, given the low cost of this to her. Most of the transportation was fairly high-quality as well. The bus too, and from the rafting was nothing fancy, but certainly nothing to worry about.
Be prepared to spend a little more time than you might expect in transit. That's a function of Costa Rican infrastructure. Lots of one lane roads means travel between cities can be really slow. But the scenery is gorgeous. If you just consider it part of the adventure, and enjoy it, it's not a problem.
I highly recommend this trip. It had everything we wanted.

I would recommend this trip to anyone considering it! There’s no way I could have planned such an amazing trip and fit so much into 10 days! Our guide Jose has been amazing, he absolutely made our trip and I can’t imagine how it could have been improved. He is completely organised, considerate and brings a fun energy to the trip that made the whole experience an unforgettable one! He is so knowledgeable about all things Costa Rica and his recommendations were always fantastic. He absolutely went above and beyond to make sure we had the trip of a lifetime and I can’t thank him enough 🫶🏻

Another trip is coming to an end. Once again, I was able to enjoy an unforgettable time and get to know a country I'd never known before, but have now come to appreciate. TruTravels is also extremely fortunate to be able to regularly assemble such a great group. Isa always kept an eye on things and was always able to provide us with tips and tricks to ensure unforgettable experiences. Everything was excellently organized, and nothing stood in the way of a fantastic time. I'm delighted to have been part of this tour.

The Iguazu falls are so big and spectacular!!!! Hot weather, so many different greens and a blue sky. The hotel fades with the nature. It is located into the nature reserve, and it is very relaxing, including massages services. Very much recomended!

On this 7-day adventure nature trip, explore tropical forests, beaches and one of the most impressive volcanoes in Costa Rica, all in a week!
The trip begins with a three-day trip to the exotic canals of Tortuguero National Park on the Caribbean coast, the key nesting ground for endangered sea turtles between the months of July and October. The rivers within the park are also home to sensitive populations of manatees as well as caimans, crocodiles and tropical gar, which is considered a living fossil. The rainforest is home to jaguars, three-toed sloths and three of Costa Rica's four species of monkey: spider monkey, mantled howler and the white-headed capuchin. Basilisk lizards and poisonous frogs also inhabit the area, along with 375 species of birds including kingfishers, toucans, blue herons, peacocks and parrots.
Then, we have an adventure to La Fortuna, the closest town to the stunning Arenal Volcano. See the volcano from different angles, while bathing in the hot springs, hiking to the base of the massive La Fortuna Waterfall or visiting the amazing hanging bridges. There is so much to see and do here!

Great trip run by professional tour operators. Our initial apprehensions about our first overseas trip post pandemic were put to rest by the excellent arrangements including day planning and lodging starting from receiving us at the airport. We felt at ease and relaxed throughout the trip. In short, the tour operator demonstrated how a professional tour needs to be operated. I recommend all to check them out if you are planning a trip to Costa Rica !

Luciana gave us a very positive vibe - it's as simple as that!
Everything was excelent and she did it great! We loved all of it. But the Amazon was great! Our best activity was Paragliding in Rio and the best lodge was Turtle Lodge in the Amazon. The only thing we didn't like were the mosquitos and the hotel in Manaus!

My husband and a friend travelled for around 25 days visiting some of the most beautiful destinations in Argentina and Chile. Our favourite part was Mendoza and Bariloche for its exceptional landscapes and gastronomy. It is a trip that will remain in our memory forever.
