Carlos was an excellent guide who made our trip truly memorable. He planned everything so we could see the volcano at the perfect time, and witnessing it active was an incredible experience. The waterfall stop was also breathtaking, and he made sure we had plenty of time to enjoy it. His knowledge of coffee was impressive—he walked us through the entire process, from grinding the beans to brewing our own cup, making it both educational and fun. He also took fantastic photos throughout the trip, capturing the best moments for us. Over a wonderful and delicious lunch, he shared so much about Costa Rica and its culture, making the experience even more enriching. Throughout the day, he was organized, knowledgeable, and made sure everything ran smoothly. We really appreciated his expertise and the effort he put into making our experience special!

I can’t say enough good things about Carlos! What an absolute pleasure he was. Informed us on so many things, nature, animals, history, volcanos and past eruptions, etc. He was very patient and kind. I wish I could take him on all tours. Not even exaggerating. He kept me informed on pickup time and the sites were great! So photogenic and peaceful. Thanks!!!

Only improvement would be to spend a little more time as we walked thru the animals enclosures and a little more time at the waterfalls. Even just 15 minutes more for each would have been great. Arturo (guide) and Alejandro (driver) were excellent: easy to understand, very knowledgeable, and fun. We’re so glad we did it and we highly recommend!!

this was the most organized and energetic team i have ever crafted with. their enthusiasm and joyful excitement really made this entire day one of the best experiences in Costa Rica

it was great. weather was u predictable, but made the most of it
