Hi Alfredo

We both enjoyed the trip enormously. Your guide Vernon was excellent, very easy to get along with and his ability to recognise bird calls and then to be able to find the bird in the deep cover was extraordinary and led to us finding some amazing birds. Being only the two of us we were able, with Vernon’s help, to tailor the trip to what we wanted which was to see and photograph the birds. He was also a mine of information and helped me enormously on the workings of my camera, enabling me to get some outstanding photographs.

The lodges were great and their settings wonderful. The food was also good and we especially enjoyed going to the bird feeding stations where we could get up close to the birds. One of the highlights was our visit to Casa Downii where we were cooked a delicious meal using traditional ingredient. The transport was also very good and it was nice to be able to explore different regions of the country.

On the down side, we were surprised that the itinerary had changed, not that that was a problem but it would have been nice to know in advance and had we been given the new itinerary with the name of the hotel we would be staying in for the first night

Please do not feel that we did not enjoy the trip, we did, and once the Hotel collected us, everything was wonderful. We will definitely recommend Costa Rica as a birding paradise.  Will you be at the bird-fair this year? If so and we manage to get their ourselves we will see you there.

Thanking you
