From the moment we contacted Alex & Fransisco at Tachiz Travel
we felt as if they were going that extra mile to give us a holiday that we
really wanted. Initially we were tempted to go to one of the big tour companies
offering holidays to Costa Rica.
We are so glad we chose Tachiz Travel for that personal touch.
The travel arrangements from the airport, where we were met by
Alex & our driver,(having had several delays) through to our various destinations
was first class with private mini bus transfers.
The chosen Hotels were excellent, most rooms having 2 extra large
beds.
Our first destination, Sarapiqui, was brilliant, it had a real
jungle feel. Waking up the first morning after arriving in the dark was a
revelation. Our rooms over looked a lovely lake where there was what seemed to
be, a Roosting Tree with a vast selection of wildlife making amazing sounds.
The zip wire experience was truly exhilarating & the jungle
walk surrounding the hotel was amazing.
Next we were off to Tortuguero, our favourite place, only
accessible by boat. We saw our first sloth there plus many other things such as
exotic plants, trees, birds & wildlife. The enormous iguanas strolling
around the pool were incredible. The hotel Tortuga lodge was the best of the
holiday.
We then travelled to Arenal, volcano country, passing through
phenomenal scenery.
The small town of Fortuna was great for food and the hotel had the
most amazing hot springs to swim in, it was really very hot water just like a
bath!!
The cloud forest in Monteverdi was wet and cloudy, as the name
suggests & also extremely windy. The sky walks were brilliant & the zip
wire here was very challenging. We were way above the forest canopy amongst the
voluptuous greenery, birds and wildlife.
The coffee, sugar & chocolate adventure and the night walk
were fascinating seeing many nocturnal creatures.
Then to the Pacific coast for our chill out time. The weather
there was hot and sunny. The Manuel Antonio National Park was incredible
and we saw no end of wildlife & the beaches at the end of the park are
absolutely beautiful.
We stayed in a lovely hotel overlooking the Pacific Ocean where we
cruised on a catamaran whilst following Dolphins.
This was the perfect place to end our holiday which we will never
forget.
The Costa Rican people were lovely, so friendly & welcoming
and everyone seemed so proud of their spotlessly clean country & how it has
become the most bio diverse nation on the planet, which was a real eye opener.
The whole experience was brilliant. The guides were fantastic on
all the tours we did, they were very knowledgeable & it never ceased to
amaze us how they spotted the wildlife that we had trouble seeing even when
they told us where to look.
Thank you so much Alex & Francisco for organising a great
trip.
We would certainly recommend you, in fact we already have!!
