Best excursion ever!! - Amazing amazing amazing!! Truly one of the best excursions I have been on and that’s all thanks to Katerine our tour guide. She truly gave us the best info and guidance, not to mention she showed us some hidden gems. I cannot thank her enough, and look forward to booking with her again if we return to puerto viejo.

Chocolate and laughs… best tour ever! - This tour was amazing!!! Fio and YiYi are the BEST!!!! Fio is very knowledgeable about the area and so sweet. Yiyi spotted wildlife with a quickness and willing to stop to see them. Learning about the BriBri people and their traditions was so interesting. Getting to try some of the various natural, herbal medicines was a once in a lifetime experience. And being able to participate in the cacao into chocolate process was fascinating and felt so special. Not to mention, the chocolate was delicious. I would go back in a heartbeat, ESPECIALLY if YiYi and Fio were our fearless (and funny) guides. Loved everything about this tour!

Bribri with Fio and Yiyi - We took a tour with Yiyi and Fiorella to the indigenous village of Bribri where we meet a local shaman, tasted traditional medicine and cleansing tonics, and saw the full process of how chocolate is produced from bean to roasting and grinding. We were able to sample delicious chocolate confections in an indigenous ranchero grande. Yiyi and Fiorella had us laughing and learning the whole time! Yiyi knows everyone in the community, stopping at different locations to get us treats. Fiorella was so kind and knowledgeable - we're hoping she'll come visit us so we can give her a tour. I couldn't recommend this trip more!!!

FANTASTIC TOUR with EMERITA!!! Excellent guide, helped us tremendously and we learned so much! - Due to ocean conditions we had to skip snorkeling but they added in the waterfall and it was AMAZING!!! We loved it more than snorkeling! EMERITA was our host and guide for the day and she was absolutely lovely! Our driver Johnny was also terrific! Very friendly and perfect English by both. They even gave us a Spanish lesson. They worked so well together - the perfect team! They be also took us for some local cuisine and were such gracious hosts. We did the private tour and it was well worth it to have their undivided attention.
