A truly fabulous 2 weeks spent travelling around Costa Rica, from coast to coast seeing the most amazing wildlife at every turn. The diversity of landscape, vegetation, climate and wildlife itself in a relatively small country was amazing.
Whole trip was really well organised, building the schedule with Pioneer was a very easy and productive process. The organisation once we there was also excellent - no hitches along the way and our guide Martin was brilliant - he knew his wildlife, was flexible with the schedule and attentive to our wishes and good company too.
We travelled in a small private group of 4 which we'd thoroughly recommend both for the flexibility en route and the ability to tailor your trip itinerary to what you want to do.
First time in Central America and we really loved it - the people were a delight and there is so much to see. Volcanoes, traditional Mayan costumes, local markets, great coffee and Mayan temple cities in Guatamala. Belize was more about jungle wildlife (toucans and hummingbirds stand out) and some beach time at the end. We went in and out via Miami so - all in all - this felt like multiple holidays rolled into one.
Thanks to Pioneer for their great advice and reliable planning. Everything went exactly as planned, the accommodation was perfect and all the guides were warm and knowledgeable. Perfect!
Well done Laurenne, yet another really successful adventure.
I travelled with my brother who is disabled and uses a wheelchair, and we saw everything we had hoped for and more! We went Gorilla trekking ( yes they had people to carry Jon)and saw Chimpanzees and Golden monkeys We did more traditional safaris to see African Antelopes and Giraffe and Elephants, and we went on the water to find Shoebill. We also saw Rhino on foot and so many amazing birds over our three week stay.
The planning involved for this type of trip is huge, but once again you pulled it off for us both.
Thank you so much.
Hilary and Jon
