For a first timer in CR, this was a great tour for an active vacation! I didn't want to spend the time to travel down to Manual Antonio NP, but wanted a third location aside from La Fortuna and Monteverde. Rincon de la Vieja was great! We upgraded to the Superior hotels, and the two upgrades in La Fortuna and Monteverde were wonderful. Transportation between each site was very organized. The included activities were fun, but it was a little unclear what was actually included. More description of the activity would have been helpful from DS. All pickups were very prompt and clear, except for one tour operator in Monteverde; not sure where there was miscommunication, but a phone call to DS cleared it up. No need to rent a car in La Fortuna; Uber gave us a quick ride to and from hotel to the town. We appreciated that DS arranged our transportation to our separately arranged hotel at Playa Hermosa for no additional charge. Overall, it was a wonderful vacation for two 50+ females, with sufficient activity but also downtime in the afternoons/evenings to relax and enjoy those thermal hot springs! Pura Vida!
