Back to Charlotte today; all four of us were sad to leave! After our last costa rican breakfast -- seriously I'll have to make rice, beans and fried eggs at home -- the hotel arranged a taxi minivan to the airport and our flight home.
We'd come back in a heartbeat. We came in the rainy seasons, but really it only rained a little in the morning and sometimes at night. The only time the rain interfered with our activities was that the horseback ride at Selva Bananito was cut a little short.
James's favorite thing was watching those leaf cutter ants. Sirena's favorite was the rafting trip. Maria's was the horseback ride at Selva Bananito. I guess I'd have to say I loved that the girls got to do the rappel and the canopy tour, and that it was such a safe environment to do so. But my favorite thing may have been the night patrols at Pacuare Reserve.
We would travel with Adventure Life again. The level of involvement was perfect for us. All the accomodations and transfers went smoothly, with everyone right on time, but yet we were still free to do much of the trip on our own and negotiate to our own liking while we were there. I also appreciate the focus on using local guides and services. It makes you feel like you're not imposing too much on the natural environment.
Now we have to start saving for the next adventure!
We have been working with Adventure Life for 5 years now and it is very easy to plan out our trips. Our holidays include customization of activities and side trips along with the standard packages available on the Adventure Life website. Kevin, Jess, Mary Rose and their teams have many recommendations that have enhanced our travel.

We had a great experience- they were very helpful in trip planning and making sure we got to do all the activities and see the places we wanted. There were some things we couldn't do/see due to the time of year being the rainy/low season and they steered us away from those. We had never been to Costa Rica before and it gave us a good overview of this lovely country.
