"Jose planned the perfect combination of adventure and sightseeing for me and my teen daughter. I especially loved rafting the Parque and staying at Ave Sol. Rappelling waterfalls and taking in the hot springs were also highlights. Our favorite hotel was Sibū in Santa Elena. All of the transfers were on time and easy. Our only challenge was the windy roads in and out of Monteverde. Horizontes was very responsive each time I had a question about a booked activity or transfer. I would highly recommend their service!"
