Traveler reviews
Beautiful day at Llanos...
Beautiful day at Llanos de Cortes. We swam in the natural pool surrounding the waterfall. Pleasant temperature. Worth a quick swim and some great photos. Saw Howler monkeys in the trees above. Next we went to the Sloth natural reserve. Saw 3-4 sloths but were treated by one climbing down from his tree to take care of his weekly bathroom run. Also saw lots of other wildlife here. The lunch was amazing with lots of native Costa Rican foods. Toucans played in the trees right by our dining area. Finally we made it to Rio Celeste only in time for it to pour. We did successfully make it to the falls but the water lost its blue color due to all the silt from the rain. The falls did have an impressive amount of water pouring down. As the rain finished up, we headed back down and all the wildlife emerged- a family of Coati, a Capuchin monkey, a Motmot, an anole, walking sticks, etc. We all very much enjoyed the day.
Carlos Alfredo
10/10! Carlos and Alfredo were awesome from the beginning. Picked us up at our front door made it super easy. Alfredo was a great driver and got us everywhere safe and sound. He was very knowledgeable on where wildlife was in certain areas of the country. Carlos was the absolute best. He was personable, smart, kind and a great guide to be around. He submersed us into the Costa Rican culture! If you are looking for the perfect guide, Carlos is your guy! Highly recommend to do with your family if you are looking for a fun and also adventurous and high paced excursion! Blue Zone Tours, Carlos and Alfredo are the best!!
Fantastic experience
The tour was great, we saw so many sloth, hikes were moderate, communication was excellent we knew what to expect at every stop. Rudy gave us a wonderful history lesson in the van. Very comfortable ride to each stop.
Waterfalls and wildlife’s
Helpful and knowledgeable guides Alberto and Philipe were fantastic.
Jungle experience and beyond!
This was a 5/5 experience! We were picked up and dropped off right at our hotel. Kevin, our guide, was kind, courteous, and very knowledgeable. The first waterfall and swimming experience was both beautiful and refreshing. At the eco park we saw 4 sloths, a viper snack, poison dart frog and more! Lunch was appetizing and filling at the top of the cloud forest. And the Rio Celeste falls were stunning. Natures way will tell you everything to pack so keep an eye out for those emails. The weather is unpredictable in the mountains. Prepare for a long drive home. I had a movie downloaded on my phone.
