The people really made the trip. The guides were so knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour as we stumbled over the unfamiliar bird names. They kept in touch with colleagues so that we could check out good birds in real time. I loved everyone in our group. It was great to be in the company of like minded people for a good period of time. I never felt rushed and we got really good looks at the birds. There were so many wonderful, colourful birds! The bus driver was fantastic and kept the windows spotless. The accommodations, meals and birding stops were great. I didn’t think about anything but birds and other creatures for a whole trip. The itinerary was well thought out for a worry free trip. Great time. I know I’d love to return to Costa Rica.
