Day 2 - The Paquare to Turriulba and Guayabo Lodge
Rafting the Paquare - WOW - what an amazing adventure! Our guide was so much fun. As a family of 6 it took a little cooperation to row together and stay upright. The clas III & IV rapids came often, about every 15 minutes so we had time to rest in between and view the gorgeous landscape and saw the beautiful blue butterfly. Lunch was prepared and served by the guides - very delicious food. The fresh pineapple was fabulous. Just a warning, however, to not only look up, but also notice where you feet are as there are many "ant highways" that are not happy if you stand in their way. Result? yeah a bite that itches like crazy. This was found out by the boys as they were looking for a "nature break".
After a fabulous day of rafting we are picked up to arrive at the Guayabo Lodge. What an adventure - after about a 2 hour drive through the beautiful countryside, past Turrialbo, we take a left hand turn down a winding dirt road the lodge...
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
