Lagarta Lodge

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

GW, Winchester

Highlights “Our overall impression was how lovely all the people were that we met, amazing wildlife and very good food. Our most memorable experience was probably kayaking at Tortuguero although we also did a very good night walk when we were staying at Arenal, and spotted loads of frogs, toads, snakes and spiders.”

JP, Newtown

Everything was organised like clockwork but without feeling intrusive.  The whole itinerary fully met our needs with fabulous hotels and some really exiting journeys.  The flight from Punta Islita being a particular highlight, along with the journey from Arenal to MonteVerde.  Costa Rica with Journey Latin America is one of the best holidays we have ever had, if not the best.  Thank you and particularly to Hannah.”

LD, Harpenden

Highlights: Monkeys and macaws on the trees by our bedroom ,and the White water rafting to and from Pacuare Lodge and swimming down the river!

JB, Ashford

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

EJ, London

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

AD, Ilkley

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

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

RA, Lichfield

Highlights? Rafting out of Pacuare, seeing the turtles, kayaking in Tortuguero, zip wire trips, hiking in Pacuare and relaxing on beach in Santa Teresa.

MBW, London

Highlights:- Hard to choose, but the noises and sounds surrounding us all day and night, created by all the wildlife was fantastic.  Never heard anything like it and loved it.  The Costa Rican hospitability is something to live up to they have it right!

ST, Swords

So many brilliant memories but if we had to pick one it was witnessing the sea turtle lay eggs on beach in Tortugero.

PG, Galway

Most memorable experience: “Very difficult to be specific but an eclectic selection would include:- Boat trip excursion with excellent guide from Tortuga Lodge; Singer/Musician at Dinner at Arenal Nayara Hotel; Crossing Arenal Lake (clear blue skies and we were the only passengers on the boat) and then scenic drive to Monteverde”

VB, Sloane Sqaure

Highlight?: Flying down the ziplines at Arenal was truly incredible. We had a clear day, too, with amazing views of the volcano and lake to distract us from the fact we were 200m up! 

DR, London

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

AF, Cardiff

A brilliant mixture of hotels. Excellent standard and great service. Beautiful settings and well located. 

LW, NW11

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

MD, Southam

The whole Tortuguero experience was brilliant.

TK, Leighton buzzard

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

MD, Southam

Highlights:- The friendliness of the people and the wildlife. 

ME

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 had a really exceptional trip.  The mix of beautiful scenery and amazing wildlife made it a real adventure and yet the logistics made it achievable and stress free. Costa Rica has beaches, wildlife and lots of outdoor fun (zip lines, rafting, and ATV trails for example) which make it ideal for a holiday which met the desires of all the family.

GP, Warwick

Highlight?: This is difficult! We loved Tortuga Lodge, Bosque de Paz and Aguila de Osa Inn. Made new friends who we will remain in contact.

MG, Uckfield

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

Although the transfers were quite long the mix between eg driving and taking a boat were good and made us feel we really saw the country. 

ME

Highlight?: All the wildlife, absolutely amazing

DJ, Usk

Most memorable experiences: Waterfall rapelling at el remanso, the internal flights on tiny planes, everything was good

SM, Knaresborough

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

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

SW, Surbiton

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