AS AN EXTRA DESTINATION OF THE TOUR WE CAN: a) visit the "coffee country" of Aquiares Town and farms or b) visit the Basilica Of The Angels, the most important church in downtown Cartago. Other additional stops can be done, but we don´t want to give too many spoilers;)

I was whit marcelo and a travel-friend in Osa Peninsula for 4 days. Because of Covid costa Rica had only a few tourists. We could make a individual tour in the Jungle. My fokus was wild, not touristic, authentic, calm places, learn about nature and animals. And marcelo made my treams true! We stayed in la tarde in bungalows in front of the primary rainforest for 2 nights. We made tours at morning, afternoon, sunset and night. I loved the walk in the wild jungle whit unknows paths. Then camping at matapalo in front of the beach. We saw a little bit of lumineszenzia in the sea. Then in the small and not popular reservat ' centro biologica de osa'. In this days we saw many animals and we got interesting facts, also about threes and other plants. We got fhotos made whit our phone and marcelo's monocular. So, thank you very much marcelo!

The six hour tour only took two. The dept of health had closed down the city due to a COVID outbreak. Everything was closed. Can’t really blame the operator. Probably also went faster because there were just the two of us.

Your private driver will meet you at the airport or your hotel and escort you to your first destination. He describes the culture and the country and shares little known facts on the way. An example of just one of our tours: You arrive to the river where your guide meets you to go over safety rules and make sure you are comfortable and ready for your experience. You start your adventure down the class III and IV rapids with an experienced guide who demonstrates his skills navigating down the river. Hold on, smile and enjoy!! You will stop midway on the river shore for a unique lunch Pacuare river style! After lunch you continue down the river where you meet indigenous families and see native wildlife. Look for turtles, birds and sloths! At the end of the tour we meet up with our driver to take us back to the hotel. Pura Vida!! Well Done!!
