While he drove me to my excursion he explained the culture of Costa Rica and he stopped and showed me Cashew trees and sugar cane fields. Once we arrived at the excursion, he was with me taking pics and videos!!! I have so many pics and videos which adds to the total experience!! He treated me like family.
