A fantastic tour of all the best sites in Costa Rica from coast, to volcanoes, to cloud forests. The tour exactly mirrored what was described in the itinerary and the itinerary delivered lots of opportunity to view not only the tremendous wildlife on offer, but also the different landscapes and eco systems.

Arenal Volcano Trip

(1 review )

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

This is an absolutely incredible tour -- our guide Jason was both very informative and very helpful. He explained the history of the Arenal volcano to us, we took a short hike a small part of the way up the mountain, and then went back down to look at wildlife in the rainforest. We saw spider monkeys, which Jason said are a pretty rare sight, and then a red curacao just walked out onto the trail in front of us! It was an incredible feeling to just be seeing all these animals spontaneously on a nature hike. Speaking of hikes, it is important to be aware that this tour is somewhat physically demanding. There are no extreme parts, just some strenuous walking over very uneven ground, but I think the tour description could do a better job of emphasizing the challenge. At the same time, the tour is extremely convenient in terms of picking you up and dropping you off at your desired location, whether a hotel, hot springs, or somewhere else. Overall, I strongly recommend the Arenal Volcano trip to anyone who is into volcanoes and wildlife and plans to visit the Arenal area.

It was a very nicely paced trip. The group was amazing, we had a lot of fun and our CEO was great. Although it was a short trip for me, I feel that I experienced a lot of things in a few days.

This is a excellent introductory tour of South America visiting 2 of the continent's most dynamic cities, (Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires) and one of the world's most incredible natural wonders, the Iguazu Falls. This is not a typical motor coach tour as it travels between locations using domestic airlines. All ground transportation to see the sites within the aforementioned cities and the falls was on large, comfortable coaches using different drivers for each location, all excellent. Everything went without a hitch thanks to our great tour director, Rodrigo. After this tour we want to explore South America more. Highly Recommended.

Machu Picchu and The Amazon

Trip customizable

Best price guaranteed

This spectacular tour will introduce you to two of South America's greatest travel icons – the mysterious wonder of Machu Picchu and the fascinating Amazon rainforest. The sky-scraping citadel of Machu Picchu, also known as the Lost City of the Incas, was built in the peaks of the Andes around 1450. If its walls could talk, they would tell tales of Incan sacrifice, worship and royalty. The Amazon, meanwhile, comprises the most expansive rainforest in the world, home to the second-longest river on earth and the life-giving artery that pumps its way across South America. Much of this territory is untamed and some is even unchartered! On this tour you will have the opportunity to explore the famous Machu Picchu, enjoy spotting exotic animals and other wildlife in the rainforest, and create memories to last a lifetime!

Great trip. Full on pace, would have to skip activities to slow down! A cultural and nature trip. Guatemala was my favourite country; the Mayan history and culture. The archeological site at Copan adds to the diversity of experiences on this trip. As well the more recent history of regime change in Nicaragua. The Spanish colonial architecture was highlighted at all destinations, quaint hotels. Nature’s beauty and wild life was showcased throughout. Overall, a diversity of experiences filled the two weeks!
