We planned an incredible two week trip back in June 2019, and were supposed to go in March/April 2020. But of course.....covid!! Camino Travel (we worked with Marco Hernandez) were great, they held all the plans for us and we rebooked for March/April 2021. The company owner Helena also got involved to make sure we were able to rebook every hotel and activity we planned to do the year before. Overall, the trip itself was outstanding. Marco picked great hotels, suggested great activities. We loved everything! It was an epic trip for us and our kids - lots of animals and nature, zip line, horseback riding, surfing lessons, swimming in waterfalls, jumping off cliffs into waterfalls, beautiful beaches. We volunteered at an animal sanctuary. We stopped by a local school and brought school supplies for the kids. We had dinner with a local family and looked for frogs in their garden. Just tons of incredible memories. Our journey took us to Tortuguero, Arenal, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio. Our driver Didier was fantastic too. Marco helped us all those two weeks, even making changes on the go when we needed to, adjusting tour times, changing the plans for our covid tests, whatever we needed.he was available every day, ready to help! On our last night in town, back in San Jose, we actually went out to dinner with Marco and his family....such wonderful people...our kids connected despite the language barrier. We couldn’t recommend Camino and Marco more highly! Just loved it!

Irazú Volcano, this colossus is the highest volcano in the territory with 3432 meters (11000 feet) above sea level, whose last eruptive phase includes the period between 1963 and 1965 with strong gas and ash emanations that were perceived throughout the country. On a clear, sunny day, both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans can be seen. After visiting the volcano, we will descend to the city of Cartago, the ancient capital of Costa Rica established in 1563 by the conqueror Juan Vázquez de Coronado, where a stop is made at the Basilica of the Virgen de los Ángeles, a pilgrimage place for many faithful, which is a tradition in force since 1635. We also visit the Orosi viewpoint, a beautiful valley considered among the 10 most beautiful on the planet, then we explore the ruins of Cartago, a beautiful building that survived a strong earthquake in 1910.

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.

Excellent tour. Dani was a fantastic guide and we also had Juan Carlos as our driver. Dani explained everything in Spanish and English. We learned a lot about the Doka farm and bought some coffee for ourselves. We had plenty of time at the farm to walk around and enjoyed a really good breakfast. Unfortunately we didn't get to see the volcano crater as it was cloudy but we still enjoyed the experience. We read a lot of reviews before going and it seems like the bad weather is common and you have to be lucky to get the best views. I would advise this combo tour as then you get to see more things and avoid getting disappointed by going just to the volcano. We also loved La Paz Waterfall Gardens. We were not expecting it to be so beautiful and it took us a while to finish the hike as we were amazed by the landscape. There was a lot of variety of animals and plants. Animals are enclosed but they are rescued from illegal ownership and couldn't be released back to the wild. We recommend this tour if you are close to San Jose and want to do a whole day trip close by.
