Dear Mauricio,
Thank you dearly for a family trip of a life time! Feel free to use this review below from me and pass it on to Trish and Megan.
You, Mau, and Vicente were gracious, kind, organized, patient, flexible and prepared for anything on our week long Costa Rica medley vacation. Vicente was always ready to take us safely with a smile to our next destination. He was a joy to have with us every step of the way.
Your hospitality was unmatched and we are forever grateful for the amazing adventures we had with you in your beautiful country. We loved the lush rainforest, biking through small towns on country roads, kayaking the warm Pacific, zip lining through the canopy, hiking to amazing water falls, relaxing in natural hot springs, swimming in the warm ocean, river rafting down class 3/4 rapids with birds singing in the trees above and howler monkeys swinging in the treetops. The surprise side trip to see the alligators in the wild was priceless!
As a family we were able to have an active vacation outdoors every day exploring the Costa Rican flora and fauna with a piece of mind knowing we were guided by the best. Thank you for making it all seem effortless, when we know it was not.
We are still buzzing with excitement and raving to family and friends of the adventurous vacation we had.
Thank you again and we look forward to our next visit with you in Costa Rica!
