New 5.0-star Review: "Adventure vacation in Costa RicaMy daughter, husband and I booked the seven day adventure trip with Costa Rica Rios. Everything about the trip was amazing. Our guide (Ninja) was 100% attentive and made sure that everything was taken care of. We had three bad rain days which meant that some of the activities were cancelled but the crew did everything possible to make sure we had a great time. The country is beautiful and part of the trip was staying in an Eco Lodge in the middle of the jungle. It was truly authentic. The crew cooked all our meals which were fresh and delicious. There was so much than what was described. We sucked sugar from freshly cut sugar cane, ate bananas picked from the trees, saw monkeys, toucans, sloths, snakes and other wildlife, spent two days white water rafting, went white water kayaking, swam through rapids and waterfalls, swung over the rainforest on a cable, made burritos at the farm of one of the guides, listened to the rain on the tin roof of the cabins we slept in, went boogie boarding in the Carribean, spent an evening watching a Christmas parade, ate at local restaurants, took an outdoor yoga class and hiked many miles. We were so touched by the kindness of the people. We always had too much food when we were out doing activities and the guides would offer it to anyone passing by, The sense of community in Costa Rica is strong. What made the trip so special were the guides who stayed with us for the whole trip. They were fun, patient, prepared, hardworking, and always ready to go above and beyond. Without a doubt this was one of the best vacations we have ever had. I read somewhere that Costa Rica is the happiest country in the world, which based on its beauty and people I can completely believe it. Thank you Costa Rica Rios for an unforgettable vacation."
