点评:This tour is one of those where you’re walking through it and wondering if this is real life, or just a dream. First off you get to meet the brothers who quickly become your friends - Humberto and Enrique. Man - these are two of the coolest Ticos I have met. So friendly, welcoming and all around amazing dudes. Then they take you into their backyard which is deep into the jungle and words cannot explain how incredible it is. The sounds, the trail, the views the waterfalls (omg these are so amazing) - it’s truly something you have to experience first hand to understand the true beauty of it. It’s hands down one of the best experiences we have ever done with all of our travels and words just can’t explain how amazing it is. After an amazing hike we got to do some cliff jumping which we as a family loved, as there was a height for all of us to conquer - yes, even our 5 year old did a jump. After an amazing adventure they take you back and you get to eat one of the most delicious, authentic, Costa Rican meals you will ever have. You get to chat with the brothers and it truly feels like you are at a family dinner. As you leave and drive back to home base you sit there and think “did that actually happen?!? What an unbelievable experience”
Humberto and Enrique - we can’t thank you enough for giving us one of the best memories our family has ever experienced.
Couple tips:
- 4x4 is a must
- Hiking difficulty - I’d say easy to medium. We had 2 70+ year olds and a 5 year old with us, but Enrique and Humberto set a great pace and always made sure there was a helping hand over the “difficult” parts. This makes a world of a difference
-Getting there - near the end Google Maps will say take a slight right - don’t. Keep left and head over the metal bridge and you are almost there.
-Bring water
-Get ready to have the time of your life!
翻译:这次旅行简直像一场梦,你会感觉身临其境,分不清这是现实还是梦境。首先,你会遇到两位兄弟——Humberto 和 Enrique,他们很快就成了你的朋友。天哪,他们是我见过最酷的哥斯达黎加人!热情友好,人也特别棒。之后,他们会带你去他们位于丛林深处的“后花园”,那里的美景简直无法用语言形容。那里的声音、小径、景色、瀑布(天哪,太壮观了!)——你必须亲身经历才能真正体会到它的美妙。这绝对是我们所有旅行中最棒的体验之一,语言真的无法形容它的精彩。徒步旅行结束后,我们体验了悬崖跳水,全家人都玩得很开心,因为每个人都能找到适合自己的高度——没错,连我们5岁的孩子都跳了。精彩的冒险结束后,他们会带你回去,让你享用一顿地道美味的哥斯达黎加大餐,这绝对是你吃过的最棒的哥斯达黎加美食之一。你会和兄弟俩聊天,感觉就像真的在参加家庭聚餐一样。离开营地开车返回住处时,你会坐在车里想:“这一切真的发生过吗?!真是难以置信的经历!”
Humberto 和 Enrique,我们非常感谢你们,你们给了我们全家最美好的回忆之一。
一些小贴士:
- 必须开四驱车
- 徒步难度 - 我觉得是中等偏易。我们一行人中有两位七十多岁的老人和一个五岁的孩子,但 Enrique 和 Humberto 控制着节奏,并且总是确保在“困难”路段有人帮忙。这真的非常重要。
- 路线 - 快到终点时,谷歌地图会指示稍微向右转 - 不要。保持向左,穿过金属桥,你就快到了。
- 带上水
- 准备好享受人生中最美好的时光吧!
