Good to see the country but not my favourite. I think I might have fall too much in love with the relative remoteness and untourist nature of Patagonia and the Galapagos Islands. Costa Rica has embrassed tourism and while it 'sells itself' as eco orientated I was left unconvinced. I think the animals and birds are disappearing, at least moving away from where the humans are. We toured a lot of the country on unmade roads which was a good part of the adventure, travelling from the swamps, to volcanoes, to rainforest, to the coast, the jungle and the mountains. We did see a lazing sloth in a tree by the road and hummingbirds defying any attempt to be photographed with their speed and agility. There were some nice touches, the trip the school and the homstead in the mountains.

Just back from this brilliant holiday - we've had an exceptional time exploring Costa Rica's flora and fauna with plenty of adventure and activities to keep us entertained over the two week holiday. Our group spotted at least 125 different species of birds, animals and other creatures, from colourful butterflies and birds of every shape and size to adorable sloths, from poisonous frogs to killer tarantulas and scorpions, from humpback whales to dolphins and flying fish. Our tour of Costa Rica took in wet, dry and damp rain forests, incredible scenery, amazing sights and sounds, very rainy rain, beautiful hot sunshine, captivating night tours including a magical, breath-taking experience watching baby turtles hatching and making their first journey out to sea, wildlife walks and hikes, plus fabulous food from pineapple plantations and organic farms. Other activities included flying through the rain forest by zip line, tubing down rapids and horse riding through a wildlife rich ranch, basking in volcanic thermal springs under the stars. We added in a couple of optional adventures: surf lessons at the beach and a coffee, chocolate and sugar cane tour at the base of the Arenal volcano. Our excellent tour leader, Mayer Jimenez brought expert wildlife and bird knowledge to the holiday, a huge bonus for our group. This holiday comes highly recommended.

This was our first Exodus trip and it won't be our last! It was a well paced holiday, moving on after two days in one place, but we managed to see a range of different environments in this amazing country. There was such a number and variety of animals and birds wherever we went! It must have one of the richest natural habitats in the world. The scenery was stunning too - from beautiful river systems to volcanoes and cloud forests and tropical rain forests. What an experience!
