We booked a 9am tour, and struggled a bit to find the location. We were outside of the property, but a sign on the gate said no entry. Fortunately, one of the horse handlers ushered us in. It turned out Trip Advisor somehow informed Celia, our guide for the tour that we had booked 1pm (I’m not trying to sound shady or sarcastic, she showed us her confirmation - so maybe it was that we’d booked the night before and it got confused). Anyway, Celia was adorable, super apologetic, and arrived within 15 minutes of us calling to let her know we were there. It worked out brilliantly, as we got the chance to have a wander, and relax in the stunning garden of the property owned by one of the plantation owners. After coffee (obviously) we were introduced to our horses and Kalin (sp.), the horse handler who led us on the tour. We’re not horsey people, but it was a really nice walk (not the most comfortable, I’ll admit, but it would have been absolutely shattering to walk it on foot), and Celia is very knowledgeable, and the stories behind the community, its founders and how it works today are all very interesting. We never felt like there was a time limit, or we were being rushed to finish. There was a no pressure side trip to the small gift shop (we bought coffee and local chocolate). It honestly felt like a friend had showed us round where they work, and I was actually quite sad when we left.

we were taken on a guided tour of CATIE to look at the plants and trees as well as the bird life. It was a fascinating tour giving an insight into Costa Rican agriculture and plant life. The uses of certain fruits and trees were explained in detail - it felt that we could learn from the Costa Ricans to use natural remedies for a wide range of ailments. We saw a variety of birds and thoroughly enjoyed our visit
