Costa Rica had been on our family trip bucket list for a while. We knew we didn’t want a typical all-inclusive, resort-like vacation. We were seeking ADVENTURE and wanted to immerse ourselves in Costa Rican culture. A neighbor recommended we look into Global Family Adventures and the rest is history! Our trip was the trip of a lifetime and it would not have been made possible without GFA! Jenny thought of EVERYTHING and our itinerary was so detailed we didn’t have to think of anything. The lodges she booked were magical. We had our own private villas/houses at each location and the eccolodges’ staff and accommodations were perfect in every way. We had plenty of space, the food was wonderful and all 3 properties were just so beautiful. Our guide Luis was wonderful and made our experience so stress-free! It made all the difference to not have to think about how we were going to get to everything we wanted to see. Every excursion he booked (and we did A LOT of excursions) was exceptional! Every “soda” he recommended was delicious and exactly what we were hoping for! Luis was so knowledgeable and passionate; it was a pleasure to have him with us. I am so happy we found GFA for our first time to Costa Rica. It could not have gone more perfectly! Costa Rica has stolen our hearts and we can’t wait to visit again.
