- NoIberostarFanWichita, KS765 contributionsVery easy access from the road and to the trail. We had a great hike and saw many birds and howler monkeys. You can stay for 15 minutes or a couple hours.Written March 11, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Peter M4 contributionsA nice little butterfly garden a short walk from our hotel. My kids enjoyed it, and they have a few hiking paths that were lovely.Written August 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephanie A10 contributionsMy children and I (8 and 10 years old) took a day trip here from Orosi and it surpassed my expectations! The hiking trails were challenging, but fun, and beautiful. The lookout of the valley and volcanos (if the clouds clear) was gorgeous. We felt secluded and that we could really enjoy the rainforest around us, as there were few people that we met on the trail (and it was a Saturday). Crossing the small streams was fun for us all, and the waterfalls truly were beautiful. Completely recommend for a visit. We spent about 3 hours there, and hiked three of the trails. You actually have to "hike up" to the lookout and beginning of the trails. They offer walking sticks at the bottom - get them! Very helpful, especially for the muddy trail and crossing the streams.
Best surprise of all......we saw a quetzal!!! Such an amazing experience and lifetime memory!Written August 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Nice view of the lagoon (you can make a short walk), clean toilets, electricity, running water, cold shower. Even have soap and toilet paper!
I think we paid 3000 colones per person so price is good. Met the owner, is a friendly guy.
There is also shelter in case of rain.
Take an extra blanket cause it gets cold at night!Written December 8, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Gail BSunapee, NH3 contributionsSergio Guevara, who owns and operates Guanacaste Expeditions,
can offer you a customized tour with a true flavor of the country. He has an incredible knowledge of flora and fauna and of the places to experience what Costa Rica has to offer.He is able to take you quietly to the best of places,without being with swarms of other tourists. He is accommodating, he is a good listener, and he will work with all people in an unfaltering patient manner, with a good sense of humor. Having worked with him several times and gone to places less traveled as well as more popular locations, I recommend him highly for touring to a variety of places. He researches his choices and works to be sure he offers high quality experiences for reasonable prices.Written August 16, 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

White water rafting
adventure combo at Buena Vista
overnight tour-Arenal volcano and lake, hot springs, la Fortuna, Monteverdi cloud forest
Thoroughly enjoyed all of them . The tour guides were excellent and happy to answer all our questions. The lunches on all the tours were really good. The organisation was excellent.
The overnight tour was worth the cost. We particularly enjoyed the night walk. The hotel we stayed at was charming with lovely views of the river -although the food wasn't great on only this tripWritten September 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
