Must do in Puerto Limon - JC, Joanie, and Jordy were helpful, informative and eagle-eyed at spotting many animals. Even small snakes and birds. The canal and jungle were amazing.

Lovely day despite a hiccup - Resourceful guides, variety in tour, small group, enjoyed the boat tour and the walk in Cahuita Nationalb Park by the sea. The highlights were seeing the variety of animals ( especially sloths and white-faced monkeys) and having a swim in the ocean. The reason I am not giving it a 5 star is because we were told, when we arrived at the pick up spot right on time 8 am, that the van had left without us 45 min earlier.. We were not pleased, to say the least, as the tour was supposed to be from 8 am to 6 pm. However, we were able to catch up the van at its first stop. So the company made ip for it and the rest of the day was very pleasant. Btw, we were back by 3pm.
