| Comments: | I just wanted to thank you for your services while we were in Costa Rica. They were absolutely the best bargain we had on our entire trip. The boat ride across Lake Arenal to Monteverde was a suprising treat! Everyone was very nice and professional ESPECIALLY Freddy! He stopped a few times so we could enjoy the scenery and view the crocodiles. We will look you up when we return and will recommend you to ANYONE we know going to Monteverde Costa Rica! Muchas Gracias! Gina Menzes |

| Comments: | We visited last year, stayed at El Sapo Dorado in the highest cabin on the hill. It was a vacation to die for! The nicest people in town and at our resort,and one of the most beautiful parts of Costa Rica. This paradise needs everyone's protection to stay forever for all to visit and enjoy.We will return, and we look forward to the 'Bumpy Road" ride from San Jose. And everyone must do a horesback ride in the mountains with Juan! |

| Comments: | We drove to Monteverde from Arenal Volcano. What a ride! The road is unbelievable. And another shocker was the actual town itself with not one single paved road anywhere. We stayed at El Sapo Dorado in a lovely wooden cabin. The food was fantastic. While it was all very beautiful, I think CR needs to spend some money on paving the road to such a popular tourist site. |

| Comments: | Hurricane Ivan made me remember Wolf Guindon, and the times we went racing over Grand Hotel at Point Clear, AL and Gulf Shores AL some 55 years ago. This was at the time just before Wolf declared himself conscientious objector, spent time in prison for it, and went to Costa Rica. I never knew where he ended up, and bless the good old internet, I found where he is. Great. I shall now endeavor to reach him in person. |

| Comments: | My husband and I took an absolutely amazing trip to Costa Rica through a tour operator three years ago for our honeymoon. Every tiny detail was perfect. It rained every day we were there (late Sept), but we would not have changed a single thing. Since then almost everyday I dream of going back. We will be there in April finally, and I can't wait to meet Jacques and visit the home of his wonderful and inspiring website. This time we are setting up our own itinerary and moteverdeinfo has been soooo helpful! Be prepared Jacques, I will be bugging you for more info in the next couple months!! Smiling, Amber Georgia, USA P.S....My husband is nervous about relying on public transportation the whole week..can anyone offer words of encouragement?? |

I'm planning to do some skydiving and till now I don't really know where to find a parachuting-school or something like that. Whether you can help me or not, I'm gonna visit you anyway to do some skytrekking in the woods. Enjoy the speed! Thank you! Uli. |

| Comments: | Just a short note to thank you for your extremely useful advice during our recent 2 week trip to Costa Rica and Santa Elena de Monteverde in particular. As you recommended we took the 8:00 a.m. 4x4 Jeep / boat / Jeep tour from Monteverde to Arenal Volcano and boated across where we were picked up on the other side and dropped off at Hotel Arenal Paraiso. Although the other guests had not seen the Arenal Volcano for the past 10 days, as if by magic, the clouds lifted and we had a full view of the Volcano 20 minutes after we arrived. After an excellent (and inexpensive) meal at the hotel we were seated in the Tabacon Hot Springs sipping Pina Coladas by 1:00 p.m. The next day we met people who had driven from Santa Elena to Fortuna and they had taken a full day of difficult driving to get to the same spot. The counsel you gave us provided an additional afternoon and evening to relax and enjoy! But the best was yet to come! We left Tabacon Hot Springs at 6:30, a short and inexpensive taxi ride back to Hotel Arenal Paraiso. From the taxi we could see the eruptions and lava flows running down the sides of the volcano. As you recommended, even though it cost a little more, Hotel Arenal Paraiso was on the perfect viewing side of the Volcano. Certainly that was one of the best decisions we made during our trip (and the actual difference in cost was quite minimal) because we spent the evening watching the spectacle from our "cabina" balcony....and later that night from our bed with the curtains pulled wide open as we slowly drifted off to sleep. In the morning the Volcano was again enveloped by clouds. By the way, everything about Hotel Arenal Paraiso was great, the food, the cleanliness, the pool, and the friendly and competent staff who went out of their way to be helpful. We had told you that it was important for us to see the volcano and you said it was important that we put the chances, as much as possible, in our favor. We did and it certainly paid off in a big way. One of the travel highlights of our lives....and we have visited many countries over the years. Thank you again!

Juan was a WONDERFUL guide and we were lucky enough to have a fellow traveler that spoke Spanish fluently and we learned so much. My own meager Spanish leaves much to be desired!! I will be typing up my journal notes and will be glad to send you the section on this amazing adventure and the pictures to go along. Thanks again for a most amazing experience.

| Comments: | We did in fact make the trip to Costa Rica and Santa Elena in the last week of July. It was on your web site that I saw the photo of the Rio Lagartos Bridge turn off to Santa Elena. This came in handy since we missed the bus from San Jose and rented a car instead. Because of the delay, we got to the turn after dark. Having the mental image of the bridge meant finding it the first time instead of driving up and down the highway looking for it. Thanks, it made me look like I knew what I was doing. We had a great time in Monteverde, thanks! Charley Huff Prospect, Kentucky, USA |

Hope the town doesn't grow too much to maintain that magic atmosphere. Thanks! Andrea Hopkins |
