We started working with their guide, Luis Pablo Cubero by email in July for a January trip. We gave him what we want to do and not want to do (e.g ziplines, beaches), and he created a package for our review. After a few exchanges, the trip was planned and set.

They gave us advanced notice of the logistics with each step executed precisely as stated, thus making the entire trip worry-free. They made sure there is a proper handoff from one mode of transportation to the next (car to airport, airport to bus, boat to van) and never left us wondering what to do.

The friendly local guides at each location are highly knowledgeable of the wildlife and plants (they can even give you the Latin names if you want). They have sharp eyes, spotting birds and wildlife in the trees that are well camouflaged.

Food at their own operated lodges (Tortuga, Monteverde) are amazing. The proteins are never overcooked, seafood fresh, and they don't push any particular food or drinks.

When we go back, we'd go with them again.
