Proud to say Eco-quest Nature Tours has just returned from our second tour in Costa Rica.
We visited San Jose, Manuel Antonio, La Fortuna, Monteverde, Yatama Ecolodge and returned back to San Jose for departure.
What a great week.
What great people to travel with.
This was a Family and friends trip that allowed me to wrap up business for tours in the near future. We are planning more Family and friends tours to Costa Rica, Galopagos Islands and back to Vietnam soon.

Well I've finally had the opportunity to visit Costa Rica in January. I stayed at some very interesting places in La Fortuna, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, Drakes Bay and visited a number of privately owned conservation areas and reserves.
The people were as friendly as you could ask. The food was fantastic and the national motto "Pura vida" meaning pure life was felt everywhere.
I'm already scheduled to return August 24th of 2022.

I commend this young lady for her commitment, knowledge and dedication. Thank you for doing your part of a cause everyone should be involved in.
Damn those that argue, deny and discredit her efforts and courage. Everyone in that room should have stood on their feet and applauded her. Thank you Greta Thunberg.
