Aguas Claras

We always ask each other what the highlight was, but always fail.  It was really the variety.  There is really so much to remember.

JS, Bath

Costa Rica lived up to our expectations in every way. We all had a fantastic family holiday.

EJ, London

There were so many highlights it is difficult to single one out. The wildlife, around hotel gardens etc and not just in the reserves, was particularly impressive. Viewing it from a boat at Tortuguero and Cana Nedra was particularly enjoyable. Tthe countryside is varied and beautiful so that even the transfers were a pleasure.

VC, South croydon

Clearly the beauty and and profuseness of the country was inspiring.There were multiple highlights including some which we ourselves arranged, chocolate and vanilla farm visits especially.

DS, Cardigan

So hard to pick out an individually memorable part. If pushed then we would have to select the two river wildlife trips (Tortuguero and Cano Negro) and overall the friendly nature of everyone that we had dealings with. Also having the wildlife right on our doorstep at each accommodation was very special.

SY, Solihull

Most Memorable Moment?: There are a few but being so close to wildlife during the journey was amazing!!!

JW, London

Highlight?: The wildlife - watching the turtles lay eggs and a swimming sloth.

ID, London

Highlights?: The drive Ranch Margot round Lake Arenal, staying there, seeing humming birds feeding from flowers a metre from our bungalow veranda, kayaking in the shadow of the amazing volcano.

JH, London

We have many good memories and it's difficult to identify a single best experience. Each of the Lodges we stayed at impressed us by their environmental policies. Each had comfortable accommodation ranging from quite simple to quite extravagant. Importantly for us they were each located in different types of habitat so although there was some overlap in what we saw, there were sufficient differences for us to be continually interested.

NW, Carnforth

Costa Rica with Journey Latin America is one of the best holidays we have ever had, if not the best.

MD, Southam

Most memorable experiences: "Snorkelling off the island at Corcovado seeing the marine wildlife then returning by boat seeing dolphins and turtles in the sea; Kayaking excursion form Tortuga Lodge (extra cost but worth it) - sitting watching spider monkeys a few feet a way form us drinking juice form the fruit, with caymen in close attendance."

DO, Bedford

Highlight?: Tortuguera boat trip, rafting Arenal, hot springs Arenal, zip wires Monteverde, running on the beach in Uvita - so many lovely memories

SL, London

Costa Rica is too beautiful to miss!

PC, Moreton-in-Marsh

Commitment to Eco-Tourism and Respect for local people evident throughout

MD, Southam

Incredible

The wildlife in Costa Rica is incredible and it is everywhere you go and very immediate. Add to that beautiful scenery and very friendly people and it is a great holiday destination.

MJ, Canary Wharf

Most memorable experiences: White water rafting. Watching the turtles at Tortuguero. Everything about Montverde.

RA, Lichfield

Everything was amazing...This is the best family holiday we have ever had. Even our 20 year old daughter, who has travelled extensively, agreed that Costa Rica is wonderfully unique. The itinerary provided by Joirney Latin America provided a varied and interestingly diverse view of the country. Each accommodation was memorable and contributed towards an amazing trip. Thank you.

RW, Cheltenham

Highlight: Seeing the wildlife in Costa Rica. There are so many beautiful birds and amazing animals that it's hard not to see them. The guides were exceptional, especially William and Carlos and not only found the wildlife but also told us about other aspects of the countries. I particularly enjoyed having the private tours and we would do that again.

JW, Weymouth

Highlights: Bird watching at Tortuguero and snorkelling on the reef in Belize which was simply amazing.

GW, Winchester

Highlight?: All the wildlife, absolutely amazing

DJ, Usk

Most Memorable Moment?: So many highlights that it is difficult to pick any one out - but the evening trip to the Turtle beach at Tortuguero, seeing Green Sea Turtles laying eggs and returning to the sea, was quite incredible.

DD, Holmfirth

Highlight?: Visit to Tortuguero was exciting and remote. Rancho Margot was our favourite accommodation. It was a privilege to visit this beautiful country. 

MC, Arlesly

Turtle watching tour, zip wiring and white water rafting. Also enjoyed seeing all the wildlife living in its natural habitat.

IH, Ipswich

Everything felt "easy" and stress free. The most memorable aspect was driving through fantastic scenery, so much to see!

AF, Cardiff

It is difficult to single out any one part as being most memorable. For me (as a geologist) the trip to Poas Volcano was great. The ziplining at Punta Islita was superb.

RH, Peterborough

Highlight?: Tortoguero without a doubt-felt truly isolate in the rain forest and it was breathtaking in terms of the biodiversity.

SW, Surbiton

The whole Tortuguero experience was brilliant.

TK, Leighton buzzard

Most memorable experience: "Diversity of the country. Outstanding bird life and flora and fauna.Very friendly and helpful people."

RC, Lymington

Costa Rica is a stunning country: in terms of its people, who are so warm and welcoming; its ethical basis and its phenomenal wildlife. Snorkelling at Cano Island was truly memorable as was having toucans feet away at La Paloma. We are so pleased we added on a partial transit of The Panamá Canal: the experience was one we shall never forget. The other think to mention is that Kathryn organised the tour exactly the right way round.: we met others who had done it differently and they regretted doing so.

JS, Brighton

Highlight?: Seeing turtles laying eggs on the beach in Tortuguero
