Up early again and Rolando takes us for a long hike through La Amistad Peace Park. They have to wait for me on the up-hills... Rolando is very nice and he and Jake get to chatting - half English and half Spanish. Its amazing how smart, educated and well traveled the guides are. We have a late picnic lunch at the trail head and drive back into Boquete. Its Rolando's birthday and we offer him a birthday cocktail but he's anxious to spend the rest of the day with his family. We will see him in 2 days for our transfer to Bocas.
I'm sore from 2 days of hauling luggage and hiking so Ava arranges for a massage for us by an American woman who is living in Boquete. Ava drives us over to her house and we will take a cab back to Isla Verde after the massage. The massage is heavenly and the woman's house is charming. The back of the house overlooks a babbling creek and gorgeous natural grounds that slope down to the creek.
Jake has taken a little nap and organized his "stuff" and is ready to explore. We walk into town and stop for a cocktail and then find a place for dinner. Town is interesting. It is not overrun by tourists as I expected, just local people going about their business. No rain this evening so we pick up a six-pack after dinner and go back to our little round-house and sit outside under the stars and enjoy the lovely evening.
Franny helped us put together a great itinerary, was very responsive and so helpful. We ended up not being able to use Adventure Life for our trip, but would definitely use them in the future.

Jess H helped plan an incredible holiday to Costa Rica for us. She was great from the start, she really listened to what we wanted from the trip and took into account mobility issues by arranging different excursions. The whole planning process was easy and stress free even with us being in the UK and them being in the US. I would highly recommend using Adventure Life to anyone thinking of planning a trip. They are also priced very competitively which made it even better.

COSTA RICA a trip of a life time travelling round this beautiful country. All went like clockwork even when the weather was against us and all transfers seemed to be part of the holiday not a chore. Would definitely use Adventure Life again having previously used them 20 years ago!!

Adventure Life helped me plan my trip to Antarctica. They always responded fast to my emails and were a pleasure to deal with.
