18 March – 7 April 2022

Well, after two and a half years since my last trip, I finally took the dive into travelling again. In November, 2021, I had booked a tour to Costa Rica that I had to cancel due to Omicron. I lost my every penny I paid for the tour, so when Omicron started to wane, I started to look at other tour companies and saw that Intrepid had a very good cancellation policy.

I waited until the middle of February to book the Classic Costa Rica tour in order to give less time for another variant to pop up.

I choose Costa Rica because a pre-arrival test was not required. After having avoided Covid for two years, I didn’t want my luck to run out the day before I left. Continue reading “Costa Rica Encore” →

Eldertreks: Costa Rica – Rainforest Adventure

12-28 December 2016

I had been looking at Costa Rica for some time but most of the tours I had researched were only a week long. I knew Costa Rica had more to offer, so when I saw Eldertreks‘ thirteen day adventure tour for people over fifty, I knew this was the one.

I’ve been on tours that concentrated on cultural, historical or scenic elements. This one was just plain fun. Outside of the beautiful scenery, we went ziplining, river rafting and horseback riding. We also did a couple of short hikes in the rainforest, saw a lot of wildlife, bathed in hot springs, had a lunch with a local family and much more. None of the activities were too strenuous so that anyone in reasonable health could do it all.

All the photos from this tour can be found on my flickr page.

Enjoy!
