I awoke at four. We were being picked up at the hotel at six to be driven to the airport. The concierge at the hotel arranged for our transportation and we paid our departure tax there which made it easier to go through the airport. Alan, our driver, was right on time and he told us he lived near the Poaz volcano and has two boys, 10 and 11, and a girl, 15. I shall never forget ''the most beautiful country in the world'' and will never eat another banana or pineapple without thinking of my time in beautiful Costa Rica.
We went through security without a problem and I heaved a sign of relief that my luggage was not over the allowed weight. We had a short wait and I was out of snacks and hungry. When we boarded, our carry on luggage was hand searched and we were wanded! Our flight was on time and we soon were served a breakfast of pancakes, croissant , fruit and butter and jelly.
We arrived at Austin Bergstom International Airport about four and collected our luggage and caught the shuttle to the parking lot where Sarah had left her car. After paying for the parking, we headed home and it started raining really hard. I guess we brought the rain with us because we had not had rain in a good while at home. We live about 45 miles from Austin so it actually did not rain at our homes. I immediately unpacked my suitcase and started washing clothes. I sprayed my hiking shoes and put them out to dry and headed to my son's house to give them their gifts. It was a wonderful trip and my third with Adventure Life. They have always taken very good care of me. I recommend Adventure Life and Costa Rica.
Adventure Life took care of everything! All we had to do was show up when we were supposed to, which made our first trip to Costa Rica largely stress-free and incredibly fun. Our trip reps, Hannah and Mariethony, were helpful and responsive, getting back to us by email usually within a few hours. Our accommodations were all great, and we got incredibly blessed with some absolutely stellar guides and drivers.
Our Jungle & Beach trip was an excellent balance of adventure and rest. We got to try out a lot of different activities, including snorkeling, hiking, white water rafting and kayaking, while also partaking of some rest around the pool or by the ocean. We enjoyed seeing and exploring the beautiful Caribbean side of the country.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.

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!!

Our Costa Rica trip was amazing! Kassandra planned everything and the excursions, hotels, overall organization were outstanding. Everything worked out smoothly, the excursions guides were knowledgeable allowing us to see so much of the fauna and flora of the country. The hotels were great as well, all in fantastic locations and with beautiful views.
