"Eladio’s casita was clean and comfortable. It came with everything we needed. We enjoyed relaxing outside under the fans and by the pool. The best part of our time in Costa Rica was the jungle tour we took with Eladio, who we quickly realized was the unofficial mayor of Guanacaste! We had such a wonderful time with him, and can not thank him enough for sharing his beautiful home and showing us true pura vida! Our trip with Eladio was absolutely the highlight of our adventures in Costa Rica. He drove us around the backside of the volcano to small villages where we met kind and welcoming locals, at delicious food and had a once in a lifetime experience in the jungle. The trek itself was incredible, definitely bring hiking sandals and be fit and prepared for adventure with Eladio. He took us to a blue waterfall and canyoning to several hot waterfall pools, and then a relaxing soak in a warm pool surrounded by dense jungle and not a soul around. It was incredible. We enjoyed meeting Eladio’s friends and family and seeing a true glimpse of a side a Costa Rica most tourists will never see. We hope to return one day in the future with our children. Eladio showed us the true wealth and abundance in Costa Rica is kindness and love. And of course incredibly beautiful scenery."
