Juan Valenciano, was the best driver, tour guide, and now new friend! Once we were picked up from the airport we were asked what our plans were for the day and given route options to our destination: a shorter and more windy route or a slightly longer and more scenic route. We were happy to take the longer route. Along the way our driver was so excited to tell us all about Costa Rica. Using Google translate we communicated the whole drive to La Fortuna. Juan was so informed about everything and was very accommodating. We stopped at a fruit market, for a snack or two along the way, and he even assisted in me seeing my first sloth (my favorite animal) all before we even got to our resort! It was my husband and I’s honeymoon. It was a great experience and little did we know that the first person we’d meet on our vacation would make the biggest impression on us. We even lucked into having Juan drive us back to San Jose at the end of our stay!
