Although the tour guide had a great personality, it did not make up for the disappointment of a mundane train ride through the forest. I also could not understand the guide’s comments due to her accent. For the money, a disappointment!

Zip lining in Costa Rico! WOW! Fabulous attendants on the lines and platforms. And stars for the bus driver and tour guide!
