Karilyn was very helpful with suggestions and very easy to work with. She was able to combine two different trips in Costa Rica into one that seems to be just perfect for us. I recommend her highly and will hopefully do another trip she puts together for us!

Trip to Costa Rica was excellently planned and supported. They selected great hotels, and the drivers and transitions between locations went smoothly. This was our 5th trip planned by AL and they have an excellent sense of how we love adventure, comfortable with small planes to get access to more remote locations, and lots of hiking and luxurious accommodations to relax and recover.
