This program met all my expectations and more. It is truly At Your Pace.

What a wonderful trip! And what a beautiful country! I liked everything about this adventure - perfect mix of learning, seeing wonderful scenery, birds and animals, planned activities and free time. Well planned and structured and meticulously carried out. Our guides Erick Guzman and Tavo Ruiz were wonderful - very knowledgeable and helpful. I will definitely visit Costa Rica again.

A great trip. So many birds, animals of every description. A wonderful adventure from La Selva to Arenal, to the pacific coast. A special treat was visiting with locals in their homes and learning about their lives.

I visited Costa Rica on the 2/20/13-3/2/13. What a fantasic trip. Guides Eric Guzman and Tavo were very personable. The 14 people in our group got a long so well. Poison dart frogs, iguana, 3 toed sloth, birds, crocodiles, lizards, monkeys, giant anteater, and wild boar! Delicious food. Very interesting instructors. A trip to remember.

I rarely get the opportunity to travel out of the country,and have never been to Central America. The Costa Rica trip was absolutely a marvelous and life-affirming experience, especially for one as interested in seeing nature and thinking about social and environmental issues as I am. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Although I had visited Costa Rica in the past, this program allowed me to discover a wonderful world and makes me want to return. Next time I'd like to visit a coffee plantation, to see the giant turtles, and perhaps to explore new areas.

The Costa Tica Program is a gem The natural beauty of the country and the wildlife were exquisite and the leaders wewe oustanding. They wwere proud of thei country but not pushy. The pace and accomodations wwere just right i cannot praise Road Scholar enough fo this on which I believ is my 15th.

This program was delightful. The pace was exactly right and the variety of activities and locales were all interesting and enjoyable. Travel organization was nearly flawless in all aspects so altogether this was a nearly perfect vacation experience.

We loved Costa Rica!

Practical advices: bring a flashlight. Not all trails between cabins and restaurants are well lit, and the markers with cabin numbers may be not lit at all. The locals use umbrellas for sun protection, there are no rains, only downpours – bring a rain poncho. An alarm clock may be a good idea. Good walking shoes with closed toes – and make sure the traction is good, as even some hotel rooms’ floors and walkways can be slippery. Rubber slippers for showers will be helpful as the wet tiles get slippery. Hotel locations are in remote areas – medicine, snacks, anything you need better bring from home. If you wear glasses, bring a spare pair – one man in our group lost a lens.

I understand that this was the first "At Your Pace" program developed by Road Scholar. I have become less able to keep with with group walks on Road Scholar programs and hoped that this would be a better fit for me. It turned out to be a perfect combination of limited walking requirements, a slower pace and interesting and informative field trips , lectures and activities.

I hope that Road Scholar will continue to develop "At Your Pace" level 2 programs. I think many of us less able folks would benefit greatly.
