We wake to a wonderful buffet breakfast that includes those things you could find in the USA but also some of the local breakfast treats from Ecuador. You won't leave hungry.
The staff is most accommodating and lovely to work with. There is no language barrier since all speak excellent English.
When we go outside to meet our van. I notice that the building across the street appears to be unfinished (see photo.) On our trip out of town I saw many, many other buildings in the same state. People were living in them, yet they appeared to be unfinished.
The mystery overwhelmed me and I finally had to ask Santiago (our wonderful guide), "What is the story?"
Santiago explained to us that if you don't finish a building, and it appears that more could be added on, you pay fewer taxes on the property. Pretty smart - there's always an answer.
We were supposed to go horseback riding today at the Hacienda and Zip-Lining tomorrow. That itinerary got switched, but who cares. We're on an adventure. More about the Hacienda, zip-line and horseback riding in tomorrow's journal.
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.

The travel specialists we've worked with for 2 vacations have made the trip planning process easy! They ask good questions to ensure they understand our goals and likes and have done an excellent job matching adventures with our preferences - even suggesting things we would not have thought about on our own!

Erin is great to work with on our adventure to Antartica. She gave us great choices and is very knowledgeable about the options. Her recommendations saved us from making some big mistakes.
