Fantastic experiencw, highly recommended. The guide Andre was knowleadgeble and filled all my request. The walk in Carara was great. The diversity of birds in the Tarcoles river is nowhere to be found. The lunch on a secluded beach restaurant was super tasty, fresh seafood.

I took the following tour with Rigo and loved it. On this tour you will visit a National Park that is less touristy then others which allows you to really be alone with Costa Rica's wildlife. My thanks to my guide Rigo who took the time to explain to me about the different spices he really knew his stuff. I would recommend this tour.

This was our third trip with Oropopo and met our expectations and then some. Eduardo is an excellent, knowledgeable, and personable guide. It was just my wife and I and Eduardo for the day. Carara was a leisurely morning walk to observe plants, insects, coatis, and agoutis. Next was the Tarcoles river trip. Saw lots of crocodiles, many kinds of waterfowl and other birds, macaws, and howler monkey. Relaxing trip on the river and saw so much. Had excellent lunch on a semi-private beach on the Pacific Ocean and an enjoyable stroll along the shore. Overall an excellent experience. We plan to visit Costa Rica again and will certainly be booking tours with Oropopo. We went on 4 trips with them and the planned experiences and staff were excellent.
