Going during the “rainy” season was a nice idea. We had small groups, the restaurants were empty and we got great service. Trips were all well guided by smart and caring folks. The highlight was watching a sea turtle lay eggs on the beach, bury them and return to the sea. Road trips were a little long, but a small price to pay to get to the great sites

Hi Cassio,

First of all, thank you for the review.

I am glad to hear that you and Noel had a good time visiting the areas of Tortuguero and Puerto Viejo de Talamanca, the Caribbean coast of the country is very exotic and one of my favorite areas to visit, so it makes me happy that you have enjoyed them too.

Anytime in the future when you are ready to explore some other areas of our small but diverse country, just let us know, we will be happy to welcome you again.

Regards,
Randall
