      Sarah

      TravelerWritten May 2026

      I am looking at mid to late October 2027, anytime after the 15th. Also- I will probably plan for a day or two in San Jose on my own before the tour, both to see the city and visit an old college friend who is there. Would transportation be available to assist me?

    • Green World AdventuresOperatorWritten May 2026

      We can absolutely assist you with transportation from wherever you are staying in San José to the next destination of the itinerary, so no problem at all. I can adapt everything around those first days you would like to enjoy on your own visiting the city and your friend.

    How long are the hikes and how strenuous?

      Regarding your question, the hikes are focused on birdwatching, and they are easy walks, as the main goal is to observe as many birds as you can. If you can not do nature walks, please let me know, and we can change the activities.
