Sloths galore - What a great day. Alex and Risheylin were great. So was the boat driver on the canal. All very knowledgeable and fun. Saw many monkeys, lots of sloths, birds, iguanas and a baby yellow viper. Learned so much and had a great time with the group.

Wonderful Experience in Limon, C.R. - Let's start with our guide, "Rish"eylin, she is young but really understands the importance of tailoring the day to meet her clients expectations. After our initial meeting, her first questions to us and the other couple on this tour were what are/were our expectations. And it just went up from there. Knowledgeable about the animals, flora, and fauna. This tour covered three distinct areas, A canal cruise, a country tour and a tour at a National Park. We saw slot of birds on the canal, and sloths, howler monkeys, and birds during the Nat. park walk. Our driver " Alex" was safe and always nearby after our canal cruise and park walk. Our lunch stop was at a restaurant that overlooked the old town and harbor. The food was delicious and fillling, and the view was very nice.
You really should take this tour. Pura Vida.

An amazing adventure - We recently took a vacation to Costa Rica. One of the adventures was an amazing tour from Syl Travel. Our tour guide named “Risheylin” was super sweet, and very knowledgeable about her country. The tour took us through the jungle, where we tried local Caco (The plant where chocolate comes from), and other local eats and drinks. Part of the tour also included a river cruise, a forest adventure, and more. Risheylin was so upbeat it made our adventure even more enjoyable. We highly recommend Syl Travel and ask for Risheylin.

Enjoyable day trip not to be missed - The driver, Alexander, and the guide, Christ, were both excellent. They were professional, knowledgeable, and passionate about their work. We felt that they treated us like their friends and not just ordinary guests. The itinerary was attractive. We enjoyed our ride on the canal as we spotted some birds and a baby crocodile. The walk in the country park was very good too. On top, Christ was energetic and friendly. All in all, this was a tour not to be missed!

A Fun Day in Rural Limon - We really enjoyed our small group tour with Risheylin and Gato. They picked four of us up from the port. It was very easy to spot them in their red shirts. Their comfy airconditioned van was right there. After WiFi codes and introductions we were off to the Tortuguero canals. We saw, sloths, monkeys, caymans and birds. We then made a couple of stops to see a plantation with many tropical trees and fruits. It was a nice drive through the country with a couple of shopping opportunities. Cahuita National park was a lovely nature hike right next to the beach. There were monkeys and sloths all over the place. We also saw a very photogenic pizote and a baby cayman. The guides were super friendly and answered all of our questions. Just FYI the hike is on an even trail covered by trees and the boat ride is also covered. There is not much sun exposure and the walking is not strenuous. I got to add a Montezuma Oropendola to my birding list thanks to gato.

A Day of Contracts in Costa Rica - 🚤 **Canal Ride: A Mixed Bag:**
Our canal ride was a blend of anticipation and disappointment. The vast waterway promised glimpses of wildlife, but reality fell short. The creatures—**elusive howler monkeys, sloths, caimans, and crocodiles**—remained hidden in the dense foliage. Our guide, armed with a laser pointer, strained to point out distant shapes perched high in the trees or lurking beneath the water's surface. It felt like a game of "spot the invisible."
🍍 **Fruit Stand Delight:**
The second stop—a vibrant fruit stand— Here, we tasted tropical delights, including the **juiciest pineapple in Costa Rica**. Our guide, introduced us to the **Liberica Coffee bush, sugar cane, mango trees, and the enigmatic Cacao tree**. I
🌿Cahuita National Park: A Humid Odyssey:**
Next up was the **Cahuita National Park**. The jungle trail included—a 2-kilometer trek through a secondary forest. The landscape was lush and mysterious. But the heat and humidity clung to us like a second skin. Wildlife sightings remained elusive, despite our best efforts. The hike felt endless, yet the promise of discovery kept us going.
🍌🍫 **Banana and Chocolate Plantation: A Fascinating Tale:**
. We learned how they nurtured bananas—their history intertwined with Costa Rica's. The cacao trees whispered tales of ancient rituals and indulgent chocolate. It was a journey through time.
☀️ **Overall Verdict: A Hot and Humid Adventure:**
Despite the weather's relentless embrace, this tour was a mosaic of experiences. The wildlife remained elusive, but the moments of discovery—the pineapple's sweetness, the jungle's secrets, and the banana's legacy—made it worthwhile. The heat wasn't the tour's fault; it was nature's fiery reminder that adventure comes with its challenges.
