Regenwoudwatervalwandeling, hangende bruggen en culturele lunch in een lokaal huis

Beste excursie in CR! We hielden van onze dag. Wandelen over de hangende bruggen en tijd doorbrengen in de watervallen was een onvergetelijke ervaring. We hebben zoveel geleerd over het Costa Ricaanse leven. Een van de vele hoogtepunten van deze reis was de geweldige traditionele lunch met Viktor en Corona. We toerden door de prachtige tuin en maakten ons eigen rietsuikerdrankje. Alberto was de beste gids, zo geduldig, informatief en heerlijk. Absoluut bij Pura Vida ervaring! Zeer aan te bevelen.

I cannot say enough about this tour!!! Don’t hesitate, just DO IT! From start to finish, it was absolutely magical. Alberto was kind, gracious, and incredibly knowledgeable...the kind of guide who makes you feel completely safe, informed, and welcomed. He picked us up in a 4x4 and drove us deep into the mountains to the breathtaking co-op run by Mama Corona and Victor. Words truly can't capture the beauty we saw. A few folks in our group were nervous about the hanging bridges, but Alberto handled them with such care and patience that by the time they reached the first one, they were totally at ease. The landscape was lush and vibrant—rainbow eucalyptus trees, exotic plants, everywhere you looked. Unfortunately we only saw a little frog and a lizard - no other wildlife. None of us are in peak physical shape, but we were all able to handle the hikes just fine. The waterfalls were absolutely magnificent, and swimming beneath them in the natural pools was both refreshing and awe-inspiring. We took more photos on this tour than any other during our week in Costa Rica—it was just that beautiful. Mama Corona and Victor’s home is something special. After our hikes, some swimming, and a snack by one of the falls, we continued our journey to their home. There, we were greeted by Mama Corona herself and a gaggle of the cutest puppies you’ve ever seen. We sat down to an incredible home-cooked meal and even convinced Mama to let us buy a bottle of her homemade salsa to bring home (it’s amazing!). After lunch, we helped crush sugar cane with a traditional crank press and sipped the fresh juice. Victor then gave us a tour of his garden, which was unreal—a truly unforgettable experience. This was hands down the highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. If you’re looking for natural beauty, cultural richness, and genuine hospitality, this is the tour for you. Pura Vida!

Absolute highlight of my trip. Cesar and Alberto were so amazing. The most friendly, personable tour guides i’ve had. The tour was absolutely beautiful and Cesar and Alberto made it even better. CAN NOT MISS if you’re coming to on vacation. The co-op was incredibly beautiful and 100% worth your time and money. Could not recommend it enough.
