An amazing adventure in Costa Rica!

“Rodrigo was an amazing tour guide! He accommodated our large group of 14 (3 families) and custom-designed our adventure — zip lining, horseback riding, river tubing, hot springs and a volcanic mud bath. Entertaining and engaging with both kids and adults, with in-depth knowledge of the environment and culture. We'll forever remember this as a highlight of our trip.”

Rodrigo is your perfect guide

“If you are looking for a perfect guide, Rodrigo is your man. He knows all the curiosities of his country — the fauna, the flora, the history and the present — and stops at local restaurants so you can dive into the culinary culture. A prudent driver who gives you a lot of security and keeps his van impeccable.”

Excellent tour guide

“Rodrigo is awesome. He speaks fluent English for those that don't know Spanish. He knows all about local culture, vegetation and wildlife. Excellent, safe driver with a nice clean van. Definitely recommend him for any of your transportation or tour needs in Costa Rica!”
