Top Costa Rica Day Trips - page 26

The tour started very early in the morning, but the moment we were picked up by Orlando, we were treated like family. We met the group in Liberia where we met our guide Jose. Both Orlando and Jose wanted to make sure we had a wonderful experience. I learned so much at the coffee and chocalate place that I shared information with my family. Then we headed to the rainforest. Jose asked what we were more excited to possibly see. He didn't disappoint in wildlife and with a refreshing pineapple snack afterwards. That was the best pineapple I have ever had. We headed off to lunch where our plates were full of a variety of food. Great tour and amazing guides.

A wonderful experience! We walked the streets of San Jose and got a picture of what the city life is like. I like touring markets when I travel so I get to see their food and culture. The fresh fruits tasting was great. Fruits were fresh. I loved the sapote. We then walked to a coffee shop's second floor where we had a huge sample of their tamales...sooo good! And then we made empanadas for dessert...yum! Then they took us back downstairs to sample more coffee. It was such a wonderful experience that my family went back to the central market the next day to purchase more things.

We were in awe! Costa Rica is a beautiful country. We had a small group, only our family of three and another couple. The pick up from our hotel was prompt and the entire trip very relaxing. Our tour guide started narrating as we drove to the Poaz volcano and La Paz lodge. Everything was green and the weather was great. We made a stop at one of the coffee shops overlooking the mountains. The view was awesome! We also purchased coffee beans from the place where they harvest and roast it. Can't wait to taste it but from my coffee experience in Costa Rica, every coffee I drink is delicious and caffeine level somehow is low that one can drink it at night and still get a good night sleep. We saw wildlife. That was incredible especially the butterfly garden. Stopped at the lodge for a buffet lunch that is included with the tour. After lunch, we took a 40 min walk to the waterfalls which was really fascinating. There as a lot of steps on this tour but it was not too difficult as the pacing is really good. There were many steps going down to the waterfalls. I thought we had to climb back up and that gave me anxiety. Tour guide should have told us that a van will be picking us up at the bottom to return to the lodge. On the way back to our hotel our tour guide knew we were so tired that he did not bother us while we were all dozed off. Overall a wonderful experience!
