-If you are considering a trip
to Costa Rica, these are the guys - we were lucky to have stumbled upon
Steve's company through the internet. After listening to what we wanted and
determining our skill level, Steve set up a trip that turned out to
be a perfect combination of culture, scenery, challenge, hard work and
laughs-.

Costa Rica.
You will be met on your arrival at Juan Santamaria International Airport by a
tour representative and accompanied to the charming
Hotel Villa Tournon located near the centre of San Jose.
Dinner on your own, at the hotel or in San Jose. The Costa Rica is also known
for its excellent coffee, and at some restaurant it will be possible to have a
short introduction to all the different types and processes of this world renown
drink.
We will overnight at the Villa Tournon Hotel.
Day 2: The adventure
begins!
Transfer by local flight from San Jose to Palmar, ground transfer to Sierpe
village were you will board a small boat that will take you along the Sierpe
River (look out for the endangered American Crocodile basking in the sun on the
banks of the river!), we will meander through one of the most important Pacific
Coast Mangrove swamps to then enter the Pacific Ocean crossing Drakes Bay to
finally reach our destination, Las Caletas Lodge, a small, but enchanting,
family-run Lodge. It is delightfully situated on a rocky bluff overlooking Caņo
Island, Drake Bay and the Pacific Ocean Beyond. David and Yolanda are model
hosts and superb cooks. We marvel at the sunset and chat with fellow guests over
dinner - freshly caught BBQ'd fish is often on the menu (vegetarian meals are
also available).
Overnight at Las Caletas. (B, L, D.)
Day 3: Exploring the
Corcovado National Park.
After breakfast we will take a boat trip to San Pedrillo Ranger Station in the
famous Corcovado National Park; described by The National Geographic to be -the
most biologically intense place on Earth. - We have all day to explore this
wonderful section of the park looking for wildlife, giant trees and also have
the possibility to visit a fantastic waterfall hidden in the deep rainforest.
Refreshing dips in the natural pools below the waterfall is a must! We will
return to Las Caletas in the afternoon.

Marin life and History at Caņo Island Biological Reserve.

we will land on the white sandy beach of this island that in ancient times was
also a sacred burial site for the indigenous populations and it is possible to
spot through the thick vegetation some of these burial sites. Snorkeling is a
must as the crystal clear waters permit a fantastic view of the schools of fish
that inhabit the waters around this island.
