| Costa Rica! Lots of thrills! My wife and I just returned from a 9 day, glorious trip to Costa Rica. The areas that we focused on were the Arenal Lake / Monteverde areas (for the rainforest/cloud forest scene) and then onto the pacific ocean around Jaco Beach and Manuel Antonio areas. We did everything from nature walks to canopy tours (zip lining over the rainforest) to white water rafting to horseback riding, etc, etc, etc. When we decided to go to Costa Rica I had no idea on how to go about booking it. I found out that there aren’t any U.S. based travel agents that handled that kind of package. So I did a crazy amount of internet research and ended up booking this package through a Costa Rican based tour company. They handled everything from hotels to transportation to day excursions, etc. We were incredibly please with these people – very professional, affordable, service oriented. If anybody who reads this would like me to try and answer questions – or if you’d like some contact information for the tour company that we used – please feel free to email me at e-mail deleted and I’ll do all I can to help you (if you simply respond to this post in this site there’s a good chance I won’t see it – my email is the best way to communitcate with me). My wife and I are actually making plans to move down there full time in the next few years. What a difference a vacation can make! Take care and pura vida! Scott |
