We had an action packed trip to celebrate my friend Linda's 60th Birthday! The accomodations were fantastic and we had so many exciting outdoor experiences. Hightlights were: Pacuare River rafting-the best guide ever-Roberto. Snorkeling was perfect. Many colorful fish and a walk with many sloths. Rainforest and canopy ziplining was so beautiful. Justo and Jackie were great guides and lots of fun. An added trip to the BriBri indiginous village was a highlight. So interesting meeting and talking with a Shaman and also met a 111 yr. old man who sang and played the drum for us. Lots of local cuisine and fresh fruit. Yummy! Very worthwhile and memorable .

Costa Rica translated means "rich coast" and for our family adventure it was priceless. Sharing experiences and discoveries in the mountains, jungles, and beaches, made memories that will truly last a lifetime.

I took my animal loving, adventurous, learning-thirsty son to Costa Rica for a week this summer -- we had the time of our lives. Most of the time we were too busy living our adventures to stop and take a picture -- a night hike through the rainforest with sloths, tarantulas, and vipers, watching giant sea turtles lay eggs, a boat safari, river rafting -- but from the photos I did manage to take, you can see plainly the joy this trip brought to my delightful boy.

I learned so much about this beautiful country, not just about the wildlife, and plants, but maybe most importantly about respect and passion for where you are from. Will I come back for another Costa Rica Tour again? Already working with Adventure Life on my next trip. They have a saying in this country: Pura Vida ( Life is good). So really thats all I can say right now Pura Vida!!!!!!!!
