D'Angelo and myself love making videos, blogging, answering questions and providing INFO on traveling Costa Rica, but unfortunately we don't have the time to set up tour packages, but we've finally found a Travel Company who can - and they understand your needs, which is IMPORTANT to us. It's taken over a year to find the BEST travel company who BEST represent what we're looking for in Costa Rica travel- personal, decent on the wallet, with a good understanding of the country (do you realize how many travel company's talk about Costa Rica with nearly a CLUE as to the REAL Costa Rica?) I think we finally found one- Gecko Trail Adventures . Gecko Trail Adventures can answer your questions, make your arrangements and we feel confident you'll have the BEST time visiting Costa Rica. We take our referrals very seriously, so if you ever have a PROBLEM with the overall service of Gecko Trail Adventures or feel in anyway you didn't receive your money's worth, please contact us personally, because if you're NOT happy, I can assure you, we won't be either. Pura Vida
