We had such a great time with our guide Manuel on our first day that we booked another day to go to Poas volcano and La Paz Waterfalls along with a few more customized stops. The roads can be very challenging and we felt very safe with Manuel as our driver. He is a fun and kind man and made our days just so perfect. On the first day when we went to Monteverde Cloud Forest,Manuel called ahead to book a certain tour guide who is a biologist as my 21 year old has a huge interest in bugs and other creatures. Because of that we saw things we never would have noticed, including a tarantula in his little den and a small pit viper wrapped up in the grass. Being able to stop whenever you wanted at little roadside places is really great too. We stopped for fresh coconut water and lychee as well as strawberries on the second trip. We highly recommend Manuel as the guide and Jose who helped us to design our days. They made our trip to Costa Rica that much more special and we cant wait to go back!
