An outstanding trip that explores the full range of what Costa Rica has to offer, from the hustle and bustle of San Jose to the quiet stunning beauty of Piedras Blancas.
Brilliant trip around an Amazing country A trip that transports you from different areas in beautiful Costa Rica. Six different ecosystems visited but the travel between destinations was only half a day and spending 2 nights at each place meant we had plenty of time to explore. My trip was bird watching lead guide. So every morning had an optional early start to go out and look for birds. Some of the people on the trip were not that sure at the beginning but by the end of the trip, they were keen about what we saw and more knowledgable. Frankly I was in phographers heaven!
This was a superb trip. The combination of great cycling, scenery, wildlife was very memorable. All the hotels were good quality and good locations. Food was superb throughout the trip, a bit too good as my waistline will attest! Wildlife did not disappoint, seeing monkeys, birds, crocodiles, dolphins etc, along the way - the only thing I missed was a toucan - heard them, but did not manage to catch a photo - might have to go back!.
Cycling was a bit hot some days - grateful for the warm rain sometimes! Stunning views in the mountains and forests. A couple of harder days with significant "undulations", but patience and encouragement from the team got us there.
The group we were with was great, a lot of laughter during the rides, and good company in the evenings where we had dinner together most nights.
The Exodus team were fab - everything perfectly organised and always ready when anyone needed help. Whole trip ran like clockwork.
