I did a 9 day birding tour with our guide, Adrián. What a fantastic experience! We saw over 300 species of birds and Adrián was a fantastic guide! The trip was well-organized, the lodging was all very nice, and the food was incredible. My only regret is not doing a longer tour.

Traveled as a family of 6 with 3 children. I let my agent know what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go and he took it from there and had everything planned perfectly. All of our transportation, tours and guides, and lodging was arranged for us. We had a seamless trip. Costa Rica is amazing!

Amazing adventure curated by Horizontes! Everything was perfectly coordinated to fit our family! We've never used a travel agent before, but based on a recommendation from a friend, we used Horizontes and Jose made planning so easy. Everything was organized to work within our budget and our wishes.

This was the first time I resorted to an agency to organize a vacation trip, and I am very satisfied with how Horizontes helped me build my itinerary, listening to what I wanted in terms of destinations, level of hotel comfort, and activities. The choices they made for the hotels were spot on, and the level of knowledge of the naturalist guides was excellent.

Jose did an excellent job designing a tour that fit my schedule perfectly. The guides he arranged for me were the best and worked very hard to provide great memories of Wild-life in Costa Rica. It really pleased me that I was able to consult with him on hotels for the quality I like when traveling. He and his team answered my many questions promptly. Horizontes and their drivers delivered a safe and spectacular trip.

Jose planned our 9 day family vacation. I could not be happier; everything was well organized and incredibly fun. We felt so spoiled.

My family and I spent a week in Costa Rica. We wanted to see as much as possible during this time. José made the planning process so easy and stress free. He took care of everything, hotel, excursions, transportation etc.. My family said that this was one of the best vacations they had ever taken. Thank you so much! You truly made this dream vacation a reality.
