点评:We planned a custom private tour with Real Tours Costa Rica and had an amazing day hiking the Las Pailas trail in Rincon de la Vieja and La Leona waterfall. I was surprised so few tours go to La Leona from Dreams Las Mareas and even fewer actually go inside the national park and was happy to find Real Tours who made both happen in one day, about 7 am to 6 pm. Las Pailas trail had exciting volcanic activity like mudpots rivaling what I'd seen in Yellowstone in the U.S. but felt extra special as we went in and out of the dry rainforest with no parking lots in sight. La Leona waterfall was one of the most memorable few hours I've spent traveling: wading, swimming, jumping, and climbing in and around the beautiful blue river and waterfalls. I was still impressed with the strong current in places during the dry season and would not try this hike during rainy season or with high water. Our guide Maria Emilia was friendly and was especially great on the Las Pailas trail and fixing a minor issue (we had been told water was provided but it was not, so she picked up water bottles for us). For La Leona waterfall I would have appreciated a little more proactive guiding because of its adventurous nature, making sure we had instructions of what was coming next for each section and that all in our group of 11 could hear. But overall she worked well as a team with the Finca Don Ramon waterfall guide and we enjoyed this amazing place.
For a private tour the value was pretty incredible. I appreciated Ulf being responsive as we planned it and handling everything that came up. I liked knowing we had a tour planned before our trip rather than waiting to connect with tour operators there, so having a website, Facebook page, and email communication was crucial. I am so happy I got to go to the places I wanted to go without having to rent vehicles and with a little extra info from having a guide. Thank you, Real Tours!
翻译:我们计划了一次与 Real Tours Costa Rica 一起定制的私人旅游,并在 Rincon de la Vieja 的 Las Pailas 小径和 La Leona 瀑布徒步旅行度过了美妙的一天。我很惊讶从 Dreams Las Mareas 出发去 La Leona 的旅行团如此之少,真正进入国家公园的旅行团就更少了,很高兴找到 Real Tours,他们让两次旅行在一天内完成,大约从早上 7 点到下午 6 点。Las Pailas 小径有令人兴奋的火山活动,比如泥盆纪,可与我在美国黄石公园看到的媲美,但感觉格外特别,因为我们进出干旱的雨林,看不到停车场。La Leona 瀑布是我旅行中最难忘的几个小时之一:在蓝色的美丽河流和瀑布内外涉水、游泳、跳跃和攀爬。旱季某些地方的强劲水流仍让我印象深刻,雨季或水位高的时候不会尝试这次徒步旅行。我们的导游 Maria Emilia 很友好,在 Las Pailas 小径上表现得特别好,还解决了一个小问题(我们被告知有水提供,但实际上没有,所以她为我们拿了水瓶)。对于 La Leona 瀑布,我希望导游能更积极主动一些,因为它充满冒险精神,确保我们了解每个部分的下一步,并且我们 11 个人的所有人都能听到。但总的来说,她与 Finca Don Ramon 瀑布导游合作得很好,我们很喜欢这个神奇的地方。
对于私人旅游来说,性价比非常高。我很感谢 Ulf 在我们计划时及时响应并处理所有出现的问题。我喜欢在旅行前知道我们已经计划好了行程,而不是等待与那里的旅行社联系,所以拥有网站、Facebook 页面和电子邮件通信至关重要。我很高兴我不用租车就能去我想去的地方,而且有导游提供一些额外的信息。谢谢你,Real Tours!
