Testimonials of families who traveled with Diego Gonzales
Mom of 15, 11 yr olds
12 day Sarapiqui Rainforest, Arenal Volcano, Monteverde Cloud Forest with eco-Plus and Upgrade lodges
We can’t thank you enough for the assistance GFA provided us in planning this trip. Diego was indispensable and went above and beyond to provide the best experience.
You provided us the perfect information in advance so that we could ‘go with the flow’ on the trip yet my ‘type A’s personality felt like everything was taken care of. We were able to experience so much more of Costa Rica’s culture than if we had booked our own trip at a resort.

10 day Rainforest, Volcano, Cloud Forest tour with combo of Tico & Plus lodging
The trip was great and Diego was a excellent guide. Our family enjoyed it.
The highlighted of the trip were the culture tour at Arenal volcano area, zip lining at the cloud forest and the water rafting at the Sarapiqui River.
Again thank you so much for your customized service to our family.
Mom of 4 yr old twins
9 day Arenal Volcano, Rainforest, Caribbean Coast Beach with eco-Plus lodges
We had a fabulous time, Diego was amazing and everything worked out really perfectly. We loved it. Diego really was great, listened to everything that we wanted to do and made it happen. He was great about giving us options without pressuring us. I’ve attached a picture of him with our kids Grant and Finley. I’ve also attached a picture of Grant and Finley ready to zip line which Diego totally made happen. They are only 4 and he found a company that would accommodate us. It was truly one of the trip highlights. We can’t wait to return to

8 day Rainforest, Volcano, Cloud Forest Itinerary with Combo lodges
What a TRIP!!!! Oh my gosh – I don’t honestly think it could have been much better!!!! We had such a fantastic time, amazing weather, fabulous stays, food, experiences – Lauren is soooo excited to go back again!!
Where to start – this was my 4th trip to CR, but the first without students and the first for my daughter! She was entranced. The Hotel Aeropuerto was fabulous. The hotel was very nice. Beds were so comfortable my daughter wanted to take one home. 🙂
Diego [guide] picked us up on Sunday morning, and it was friendship at first meeting!

10 day Cloud Forest, Volcano, Beach Itinerary from Liberia airport with eco-Plus lodges
Thank you very much for all your help with the planning. It really made the whole thing so manageable to do with a 3 year old and made our visit to Costa Rica, which was on our list of places to go, possible.
Our trip started in Arenal and we loved staying at the hotel Silence del Campo. What an amazing place. Our kids loved the place and the hot springs. Most of the time only our family was using their host springs. We actually ended up eating at their restaurant for 2 of our diners and 2 lunches as

Mom of 7 and 4 yr olds
8 day Volcano and Cloud Forest tour from Liberia airport with eco-Plus lodges
We had a wonderful trip, thank you. We love Diego [guide]!! He made the trip for us.
Top Three Highlights: Kalumbu Waterpark in Arenal (inexpensive, fun, 90F a good temp for kids, uncrowded at night), Curi-Cancha Reserve in Monteverde (uncrowded, not a terribly demanding walk, easy to see animals), Selvatura (one-stop-shop was nice on bad roads, very good exhibits and well- maintained trails.)
Liberia airport was easy to navigate going and coming. No scam-type shenanigans that I saw other than eager taxi drivers, and the airport employees were quick to move us away from them.
Hotels—loved the in-town locations and
