The best guide

Have to recommend the true wild-life guide in Tortuguero, Costa Rica. Bill Sambola was once a jaguar and monkey hunter in Nicaragua. He is now trying to make a living as a guide in Tortuguero by inspiring tourists that wants to experience true rainforest adventures.

I went with Bill for two days and had a wonderful time. Bill has great experiences from his time a hunter. He is a genuine bush-man with a laid back attitude. Go with Bill in his slow canoe on the canals and feel the tensions and everyday stress get of your shoulders.

The wild life

Howling monkey on the south trail of Tortuguero. I saw a loot of wild-life during my stay in Tortuguero. Deers, alligators, turtles, monkeys, and much more. Dont forget to interact some with the locals aswell. They have great stories about the national park and the situation in Tortuguero.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:the relaxing long hikes on the canals
  • Cons:dont get into the Atlantic...
  • In a nutshell:True relaxation for your mind and some workout for your arms - what else can you ask for?
