Great adventure in Costa Rica
Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared lots of great information about the local plants and animals. The buggy tour on the water was fun.. although spotting some of the creatures was a bit difficult. The crocodiles portion of the tour was just amazing. sow lots of big crocodiles and birds.
