点评:Chris was an incredible guide! We did both the hike and tubing with Chris and had a fantastic time. I messaged Chris via WhatsApp a couple weeks before our trip to Costa Rica and he was timely and attentive in his responses - answering all of my questions ahead of time so we knew exactly what to expect.
The hike was relatively short and not too difficult, but Chris made a huge difference. We hike a fair amount in the States and debated getting a guide for this hike, but we are so glad that we did. Chris pointed out 4 different snakes to us on the hike and spotted an ant eater climbing a tree just off the trail. While 3/4 snakes apparently were in the same places a day before and easy for Chris to point out, he told many other guides that we encountered along the way that apparently were not aware of where these snakes were located in order to help their tours. Chris did spot a vine snake just off trail that we certainly would have missed and was just passing through. Chris was really knowledgeable about the area, the wildlife, and the national park. After the hike, Chris got us hooked up with fresh pineapple, coconut water, and guava from the stand just outside the entrance.
During the tubing portion of the day, we joined up with a larger group of folks through Rio Celeste Aventuras. There were probably 30 people on the tubing adventure with about 5-6 other guides. We had a blast! Chris really made it special for us by giving us the VIP treatment - specifically helping us navigate the hairier parts of the rapids, wearing a gopro to capture pictures and videos of us tubing together, and pointing out to us monkeys and a sloth that the rest of the group missed. Again at the end of this part of the adventure Chris hooked us up with fruit and helped get us food at the restaurant.
Chris provides the total package for a great time hiking and tubing Rio Celeste!
翻译:克里斯是一位非常棒的导游!我们和克里斯一起徒步和玩了漂流,玩得非常开心。在哥斯达黎加之旅的几周前,我通过WhatsApp给克里斯发了消息,他回复及时且细心——提前解答了我所有的问题,让我们对接下来的行程了如指掌。
徒步行程相对较短,难度也不算太高,但克里斯的帮助让我们感觉大有不同。我们在美国徒步过不少路程,也考虑过这次徒步是否需要一位导游,但最终我们还是选择了一位。克里斯在徒步途中向我们指出了四种不同的蛇,还发现一只食蚁兽正在小路边的一棵树上爬行。虽然四分之三的蛇显然在前一天出现在同一个地方,克里斯很容易就能指出来,但他告诉了我们途中遇到的许多其他导游,而这些导游显然不知道这些蛇在哪里,只是为了方便他们的导游。克里斯在小路边发现了一条藤蔓蛇,我们肯定会错过,它只是路过而已。克里斯对这个地区、野生动物和国家公园都非常了解。徒步结束后,克里斯在入口外的小摊上给我们准备了新鲜的菠萝、椰子水和番石榴。
当天漂流期间,我们加入了一大群人,穿过了里约塞莱斯特探险乐园(Rio Celeste Aventuras)。这次漂流探险大概有30人,还有5-6个其他导游。我们玩得非常开心!克里斯给了我们VIP待遇,真的让我们感觉很特别——他特别帮助我们穿越了急流中比较危险的路段,戴着GoPro拍摄我们一起漂流的照片和视频,还向我们指出了其他人错过的猴子和一只树懒。在这次探险的最后,克里斯又给我们准备了水果,还帮我们去餐厅取餐。
克里斯为我们提供了全方位的服务,让我们在里约塞莱斯特徒步旅行和漂流之旅中度过美好的时光!
