What our travellers say

We really appreciated the balance between tourist sites and stays with local hosts. Everything was great, especially the visits to the farms and the demonstrations of raw sugar and cocoa paste production, Tortuguero, Zapotal and Betty, the canoe trip to reach the Bribri community, and the glamping stay… An amazing and magical trip! And we always ate well! (Jeanne G. - March 2025)

A very beautiful tour that allows you to discover several facets of this vast country, with a varied programme combining culture, nature and archaeological sites. The extension to El Cuyo is magical, thanks to the authentic atmosphere of this small fishing village, far from the crowds and mass tourism. (Michel G. - March 2025)
