Why This 16-Day Luxury Costa Rica Tour Is Different

Top hightlights

Are you ready to embark on a luxury tour of Costa Rica, exploring the country's most spectacular destinations in ultimate comfort? This is the tour chosen by travelers who have outgrown standard beach vacations. It takes you through Costa Rica's most diverse regions: the cloud forests of Monteverde, the winding canals of Tortuguero, the volcanic landscapes of Arenal and Poás, the wild jungles of Corcovado, and the sun-drenched Pacific coast of Guanacaste. Every day brings a new landscape. One morning you're navigating mangrove canals by boat; the next evening, you're soaking in natural hot springs beneath an active volcano or watching the sunset over the Pacific Ocean. This elite Central America tour includes domestic flights, private transfers, premium lodges and hotels, and, at key moments along the route, the services of a VIP-level English-speaking guide in Costa Rica. What truly sets this journey apart is the rare fusion of five-star comfort with untouched wilderness, a balance that Costa Rica has perfected, where wild nature remains an everyday part of the landscape.

In the central part of the country, coffee regions, volcanoes, and lush highland rainforests await you. During the excursion to the Doka Coffee Plantation in Costa Rica, you will see the full cycle of growing the famous Costa Rican Arabica, and then ascend to the Poás Volcano with its active crater, hot steam, and cool mountain air.
Tortuguero National Park will show you a completely different, Caribbean side of the country: instead of roads – jungle canals, instead of cars – long motorboats. As you glide through the water, caimans, howler monkeys, herons, and green sea turtles appear along the banks – the very creatures that bring travelers from all over the world to this remarkable place.
The north of the country beckons with excursions to Costa Rica's volcanoes. This is a region of hot springs, lava fields, and rainforests at the foot of Arenal. Arenal Volcano is especially impressive in the evening, when clouds gather over its dark cone and the thermal pools of Tabacón, where you will definitely bathe, hide among the dense tropical greenery.
The sky-blue waters of the Río Celeste look almost unreal, even on a cloudy day. You will walk through the humid forest of Tenorio National Park and then see the turquoise waterfall hidden deep in the jungle. A completely different character awaits you on the Tarcoles River: here, during a boat tour, giant crocodiles approach the vessel at remarkably close range.
Monteverde Cloud Forest is one of the country's most extraordinary regions. Suspension bridges here pass directly above the upper canopy of the jungle, moist mist lingers constantly among the trees, and a canopy tour lets you literally fly over the treetops of the cloud forest.
On the Pacific coast, you will discover a completely different Costa Rica: a warm ocean, long beaches, mangrove bays, and small towns by the water. A special highlight is the seaplane flight over Costa Rica: soaring low over the coastline, rivers, islands, and Manuel Antonio National Park.
You will explore Corcovado National Park, considered one of the richest natural regions on the planet. Pristine jungles, mangrove forests, and stretches of wild coastline are preserved here, home to scarlet macaws, tapirs, caimans, and jaguars.
The final days of your journey will be spent on the Pacific coast of Guanacaste, in the Playa Conchal area. Warm ocean waters, a light shore of crushed seashells, kayaks, snorkeling, and long sunsets by the water.

Your VIP Costa Rica Itinerary

Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival in San José – Capital of Costa Rica
So, you've booked your trip to Costa Rica and you're heading to a land of volcanoes, lush rainforests, Pacific beaches, and jungle lodges tucked deep into the wild.

Upon arrival at Juan Santamaría International Airport, a company representative will greet you and arrange a private transfer to your hotel. The evening is yours to unwind after your flight, followed by a detailed briefing about the journey ahead.

Your VIP tour of Central America has been meticulously planned down to the smallest detail: private transfers, comfortable itineraries, visits to the country's most scenic regions, and an English-speaking guide in Costa Rica. Ahead lie suspended bridges over misty cloud forests, natural hot springs at the foot of volcanic peaks, breathtaking ocean sunsets, and that rare, profound sense of connection with nature. 

The best time to visit Costa Rica is from December through April. During this period, rainfall is less frequent, temperatures remain pleasantly warm, and exploring the national parks is far more comfortable. 
What to see in Costa Rica in 16 days? Arenal Volcano, the canals of Tortuguero, the cloud forests of Monteverde, and the stunning Pacific coast of Costa Rica – and we'll be setting off to explore them very soon!
Day 1: Arrival in San José – Capital of Costa Rica -0
Day 2: Doka Coffee Plantation, Poas Volcano & La Paz Waterfall Gardens
Today is a packed day of exploration on your premium Costa Rica tour, connecting three distinct zones: the high-altitude coffee-growing regions, an active volcano, and lush rainforest lowlands.

We'll begin with a visit to the Doka Coffee Plantation in Costa Rica. Thanks to the region's humid mountain air and nutrient-rich volcanic soils, this estate produces some of the country's finest Arabica beans. During the tour, you'll witness the entire process, from cultivation and harvesting to roasting and tasting.

Next, we transfer to Poás Volcano National Park. Coffee plantations gradually give way to strawberry farms, misty cloud forests, and finally the cool highlands. You'll gaze into the steaming crater and take in sweeping views of the valleys below, while your guide reveals the fascinating ecosystems that thrive within the national park.

After the volcano, the spectacular La Paz Waterfall Gardens awaits. Here, you'll follow a trail that descends through the forest to a series of stunning cascades. Then, you'll have the opportunity to explore the hummingbird gallery, serpentarium, bird aviary, butterfly farm, and a captivating frog exhibit.
Transfer to San José. 
Meals included: breakfast and lunch.

If you're fascinated by volcanoes and highland coffee regions, don't miss our luxury tour to Colombia with its famous Coffee Triangle and active volcanoes.
Day 2: Doka Coffee Plantation, Poas Volcano & La Paz Waterfall Gardens -1
Day 3: Tortuguero National Park – Costa Rica's Amazon
A vacation in Costa Rica is defined by places like Tortuguero National Park, a region of canals, lush rainforests, and rivers where most routes are navigable only by boat. Tortuguero is considered one of the most spectacular corners of the country's Caribbean coast. Many travelers book a trip to Costa Rica precisely for its canals, jungle lodges, and that rare sense of complete detachment from civilization.

Early in the morning, you'll depart from San José, traveling through the cloud forests of Braulio Carrillo and past banana plantations to the Caño Blanco dock. Here, you'll board a boat for a scenic journey along the Parismina River, then through Tortuguero's natural canals to your hotel. The water appears almost black beneath the dense tree canopy, the boat glides close to the overhanging vegetation, and along the banks, herons, caimans, and monkeys appear at every turn.

After lunch, a guided walk through the village of Tortuguero includes a visit to the Green Turtle Museum.

Return to the hotel. 

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Day 3: Tortuguero National Park – Costa Rica's Amazon -2
Day 4: Tortuguero Canals & Transfer to Arenal Volcano
At dawn, a boat excursion awaits you through the canals of Tortuguero National Park. This is one of the most remote and breathtaking regions of the country, and it's no wonder it's often called the "Costa Rican Amazon." Narrow waterways wind their way through dense jungle, where tree roots hang low over the water, howler monkeys echo through the thickets, and herons, iguanas, and caimans sit perfectly still on branches along the banks.
After the excursion, the route takes us to the northern foothills of Arenal Volcano, near the town of La Fortuna. This is a Costa Rica volcano tour, with volcanic landscapes and soothing hot mineral springs waiting ahead.
In the evening, we gather at 5:00 PM for a visit to the Tabacón Thermal Springs, widely regarded as the finest thermal spa in the country and an essential hallmark of premium travel in Costa Rica. Hot water cascades naturally through a series of pools set within a tropical garden, with each pool tucked into lush greenery at the foot of Arenal Volcano.
Dinner at Tabacón (Ave del Paraíso restaurant). 

Meals included: breakfast and dinner.

If you enjoy jungle waterways and wildlife, check out our Brazil expedition tours featuring the Amazon Rainforest and the Pantanal wetlands.
Day 4: Tortuguero Canals & Transfer to Arenal Volcano -3
Day 5: Rio Celeste – Sky-Blue River & Most Beautiful Waterfall
The Río Celeste, with its mesmerizing turquoise waters, is considered one of the most extraordinary natural wonders that luxury Costa Rica is famous for. The water color here seems almost unreal. In certain stretches of the river, volcanic minerals transform it into a brilliant shade of turquoise. Legend has it that God washed his paintbrushes in the river while creating the sky, which is why it's called Río Celeste, or Sky-Blue River.

Today's route takes us through the lush rainforest of Tenorio Volcano National Park. As we walk among vines, ferns, and giant trees, your guide will point out rare plants and wildlife that are often spotted right beside the trail. The highlight of the journey is Los Teñideros, the point where two clear rivers converge and the water suddenly shifts to a stunning turquoise blue.

The trail then leads to the Río Celeste Waterfall, one of the most beautiful in the country. A cascade of turquoise water tumbles noisily into a canyon deep within the dense jungle. This private tour of Costa Rica is especially prized by those who love nature and walking trails without challenging climbs. 

Meals included: breakfast.
Day 5: Rio Celeste – Sky-Blue River & Most Beautiful Waterfall -4
Day 6: Arenal Volcano Hiking & Monteverde Cloud Forest
After breakfast, a guided walk awaits you in Arenal Volcano National Park. The Los Tucanes trail crosses ancient lava flows left behind by the 1968 eruption, an event that completely reshaped this sector of the volcano. Dense tropical forest has since reclaimed the black volcanic rock, and on clear days, the volcano's iconic cone rises dramatically above the treetops.

From there, the route ascends into the Monteverde Cloud Forest, a high-altitude region where moist mist clings to the canopy almost year-round. It's precisely these dramatic transitions that make a VIP tour of Costa Rica so exceptional. In just a few hours, the landscape transforms completely, from stark black volcanic slopes to the cool, ethereal forests of the highlands.

A thrilling canopy tour and hanging bridges excursion await you, featuring a system of cables and platforms that lets you glide above the cloud forest canopy. And if luck is on your side, you may spot the legendary resplendent quetzal, the sacred bird of the Maya, with its iridescent emerald tail feathers. 

Meals included: breakfast.

For those who love volcanic landscapes and thermal springs, we recommend our signature Argentina tour combining Buenos Aires, Patagonia, and Iguazu Falls.
Day 6: Arenal Volcano Hiking & Monteverde Cloud Forest -5
Day 7: Monteverde Cloud Forest & Tarcoles River with Giant Crocodiles
Today, we continue our exploration of the Monteverde Cloud Forest. This reserve was established to protect the unique ecosystem of the Cordillera de Tilarán mountains, sitting at an elevation of over 1,500 meters. Dense mist, profound silence, giant ferns, and trees draped in layers of greenery, from mosses to orchids, define this extraordinary place. It is home to hummingbirds, toucans, monkeys, coatis, and vivid tree frogs, with hanging bridges suspended high between the treetops.

From there, the route takes us across Puntarenas Province toward the Pacific Ocean. Along the way, we stop at the Tárcoles River, famous for its crocodile population, for a boat tour down to the river mouth and through the Guacalillo Canal. You'll have the chance to observe massive American crocodiles, some reaching up to 16 feet (5 meters) in length. The area is also rich in birdlife, with around 50 species present, including scarlet macaws, herons, and many others.

After lunch, we continue to the popular tourist town of Quepos, located just outside Manuel Antonio National Park, often referred to as the jewel of Costa Rica.

Meals included: breakfast and lunch.
Day 7: Monteverde Cloud Forest & Tarcoles River with Giant Crocodiles -6
Day 8: Manuel Antonio National Park & Seaplane Flight
After breakfast, we head to Manuel Antonio National Park, one of the most beautiful stretches of Costa Rica's Pacific coastline. Here, lush rainforest grows almost to the water's edge. Closer to the shore, mangrove forests take over, their roots plunging directly into the brackish water and providing shelter for birds, crabs, and juvenile fish. Along the ocean, palm-fringed beaches and dense thickets stretch for miles, while offshore coral reefs teem with marine life native to the Pacific.

During your walk through the park, you may spot white-faced capuchin monkeys, coatis, sloths, howler monkeys, and even jaguars. Birdlife is equally impressive, with toucans, pelicans, green kingfishers, hawks, and many other species calling the park home. The area also hosts an incredible diversity of insects, snakes, and lizards.

A luxury tour of Costa Rica would be incomplete without Manuel Antonio. It's a rare place where, within just a few hours, you can hike through tropical rainforest, encounter wildlife in its natural habitat, and step out onto one of the country's finest beaches. 

Meals included: breakfast.

If you're drawn to unique aerial experiences and high-altitude ecosystems, explore our Chile tours with Patagonia and glacier flights.
Day 8: Manuel Antonio National Park & Seaplane Flight -7
Seaplane Flight in Costa Rica – A Bird's-Eye View of the Pacific Coast
A seaplane flight in Costa Rica is one of the most extraordinary ways to experience the country's Pacific coastline. From above, you'll soar over the ocean, winding rivers, mangrove forests, and dense jungle expanses that remain completely inaccessible on foot.

The flight from Quepos to Boca de Naranjo takes approximately 45 minutes. The route traces the southern coastline, with the PaloSeco River estuary, inland deltas, Isla Damas Island, and long stretches of deserted beach passing beneath you. From this vantage point, the curves of the rivers, the lines of the surf, and the dark green patches of mangrove forests come into sharp focus.

During the flight, the seaplane circles Marina Pez Vela Bay, Espadilla Beach, and Manuel Antonio National Park before returning to Boca de Naranjo.
Seaplane Flight in Costa Rica – A Bird's-Eye View of the Pacific Coast -8
Day 9: Journey to Corcovado – The Most Biodiverse Place on Earth
Today, our route takes us to the Osa Peninsula, one of the wildest regions in the country and home to Corcovado National Park. This park is considered one of the most biodiverse places on the planet, with primary rainforests, mangrove swamps, deserted beaches, and the lush Pacific lowland jungles all preserved within its boundaries. Corcovado is home to jaguars, tapirs, scarlet macaws, sloths, and all four species of Costa Rican monkeys.

After breakfast, we head to the Sierpe River, where the real adventure begins. The boat first glides along the calm river through mangrove forests, then emerges onto the open Pacific coast and Drake Bay. Along the way, you'll often spot pelicans, frigatebirds, and dolphins riding the surf line. 

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Day 9: Journey to Corcovado – The Most Biodiverse Place on Earth -9
Day 10: Corcovado Rainforest Hiking
The first thing everyone mentions when talking about Corcovado National Park is its extraordinary biodiversity. This park is widely regarded as one of the richest natural regions on Earth. Within a relatively compact area, it preserves primary rainforests, mangrove swamps, rivers, and untouched stretches of Pacific coastline. Many of the plants and trees found here are endemic to this part of Costa Rica and have already disappeared from other regions of the country.

Today, a guided hiking tour through Corcovado awaits you. The forest here feels exceptionally dense. Giant trees block out much of the light, and the air remains hot and humid even in the shade. Along the trails, you may encounter scarlet macaws, capuchin monkeys, peccaries, caimans, and even tracks of larger animals, including jaguars.

It is precisely these kinds of untamed regions that make a luxury tour of Costa Rica such a rare and extraordinary experience, offering access to places where nature has remained almost completely untouched. 

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Wildlife enthusiasts and ocean adventurers will also love our combined Peru and Ecuador tour with the Galapagos Islands and Amazon rainforest.
Day 10: Corcovado Rainforest Hiking -10
Day 11: Del Caño Island – Snorkeling & Humpback Whales
This day is dedicated to an excursion to Caño Island, one of the best diving and snorkeling destinations in Costa Rica. It is especially prized for its crystal-clear waters, volcanic reefs, and abundant marine life along the Pacific coast.

The journey begins with a boat ride along the Pacific shoreline. During the crossing, dolphins frequently appear alongside the vessel, and during migration season, humpback whales are often sighted as well. The humpback whale is one of the most spectacular marine encounters in the Osa Peninsula region, with these magnificent creatures approaching close to the coast during their annual migrations.

Beneath the surface, volcanic platforms covered in coral surround the island. Among the reefs, you'll find stingrays, sea turtles, schools of tropical fish, and large mollusks. Upon arrival, snorkeling in the island's pristine, crystal-clear waters awaits you.

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Day 11: Del Caño Island – Snorkeling & Humpback Whales -11
Day 12: Flight to Playa Conchal – Pacific Coast
After breakfast, you'll take a flight from the Corcovado region via San José to the northwestern coast of the country, arriving in the Playa Conchal area. Within just a few hours, the landscape transforms completely. The lush rainforests of the Osa Peninsula and the Pacific forests of southern Costa Rica gradually give way to the drier, sun-drenched coastline of Guanacaste Province.

Playa Conchal is regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Costa Rica. Instead of traditional sand, the shore here is blanketed with tiny, light-colored crushed seashells, which make the water appear exceptionally vivid and transparent. The area is known for its sheltered coves, warm sunsets, and excellent oceanfront accommodations.

As your VIP tour of Costa Rica gradually transitions from jungle expeditions and reserve explorations to a more relaxed coastal retreat, you'll enjoy the Pacific Ocean, long stretches of pristine beach, and breathtaking sunsets. 

Meals included: breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Day 12: Flight to Playa Conchal – Pacific Coast -12
Days 13–15: Luxury Stay at The Westin Reserva Conchal – All Inclusive
You've arrived at Costa Rica's Pacific coast, and the tour now reaches the perfect moment to slow down and unwind.

Accommodation is at The Westin Reserva Conchal, an All-Inclusive Golf Resort & Spa, one of the most renowned all-inclusive resorts in the region and the epitome of luxury travel in Costa Rica. The resort is nestled within a tropical forest and opens onto Playa Conchal, a beach famous for its light-colored shoreline made of tiny crushed shells and crystal-clear waters. On-site amenities include a sprawling lagoon-style pool, a championship golf course, Heavenly Spa by Westin, multiple restaurants and bars, and direct ocean access.

Mornings can be spent snorkeling or kayaking along the coast, afternoons relaxing by the ocean or indulging in spa treatments, and evenings watching spectacular sunsets from the beach or a waterfront terrace. 

Meals included: breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Days 13–15: Luxury Stay at The Westin Reserva Conchal – All Inclusive -13
Day 16: Transfer to San José Airport & Departure
Your luxury tour of Costa Rica has come to an end. After breakfast, a private transfer will take you to the international airport in San José for your departure flight.

Over the past days, you have experienced Costa Rica in all its remarkable diversity: the cloud forests of Monteverde, the canals of Tortuguero, the volcanoes of Arenal and Poás, the Pacific coastline, the wild jungles of Corcovado, and the turquoise waters of Río Celeste. You will surely remember the howler monkeys echoing through dense thickets, scarlet macaws soaring above the ocean, caimans lurking along the shores of Tortuguero, and the tracks of jaguars in the forests of the Osa Peninsula.

As you leave, you will carry with you one lasting impression: Costa Rica is one of the few countries where wild nature remains woven into the everyday landscape. National parks cover vast expanses of the country, and the jungle begins just beyond the outskirts of its towns and cities.

If you enjoyed this luxury beach escape, take a look at our Brazil beach tours with stays at Brazil's finest coastlines.

REVIEW №7- Kok
Buenas noches Viera. Antes que me comiense la semana de trabajo quisiera agradecerle por un tremendo tour que tume por Pero. Su paquete de tours fue muy personalisado para mis expectativas. Cada dia de la itinerario se cumplio como decrito. No tengo palabras para agradecer a todos los quías y taxístas que se me han asignado. Todos hicieron un buen trabajo y siempre a la hora indicada. Para una persona viajando solo eso trae tranquilidad. Los lugares que he visidado eran todos muy impresionantes. Con Cusco y los tours correspondientes los mas destacados. Me quede muy impresionado de la cultura Inca y la visita al Machu Picchu era una experiencia espiritual elevadora. El viaje de Arequipa a Nasca de 10 horas por bus era agotador. Llegue dormido a Nasca y me tuvieron que departar. Comprendo que para poder ver a el condor y también volar sobra el desierto de Nasca este viaje fue la mejor opción.
Los hoteles fueron perfectos. Mi favorita fue lq Britania Crystal Miraflores. Yo le daría 4.5 *. Yo recomendaria este tour a qualquiera que quira hacer el tour como yo lo hice. Espero que con las conecciones aerias directas proramadas entre Curacao i Lima ( comensando el fin de año) y con el nuevo aeropuerto international en Cusco en algunos años el turismo desde Curacao sea mas grande.
Una vez mas mil gracias por su atención personal para realizar mi sueno.
Mandare este mensaje también para Gina, mi contacto de A1 Travel para que sepa ella también que bien me la pase. Vere si puedo dar comentarios en TripAdvisor. ❤️
REVIEW №8- Marina Ryzhuk
Pavel, good afternoon!
My name is Marina Ryzhuk. A few weeks ago, our VIP group from St. Petersburg visited Rio with you. I believe you remember them well.
I’d like to thank you for your excellent work with our rather demanding guests. After the trip, they spoke very highly of your services. Our particularly important gentlemen especially appreciated your personal approach — you managed to find a special way to connect with them.
Through your tours, they were able to truly feel the city, which is absolutely priceless on such trips.
Thank you!

Anna, thank you very much on behalf of our tourists, the Chubar family, who visited in February.
They praised your excellent and well-organized work and were very pleased!
They said everything was as precise as with the Germans :)
REVIEW №11- Mikhail and Elena Leksikov
Good afternoon, we were in Rio de Janeiro March 15–17, 2020. Not for long, but it was very full of experiences.
The driver who met us at the airport, to our joy, spoke English and even a little Russian. He pointed out where we could walk and eat.
The next day we met Eleonora, a GUIDE and a Person with a capital P. We were lucky to visit Corcovado and see Brazil’s main symbol. Unfortunately, we couldn’t make it to Sugarloaf Mountain due to the coronavirus quarantine.
Instead of the canceled excursion, Eleonora gave us an impromptu city tour. She tells stories in an interesting way, knows a lot, but doesn’t overwhelm with facts, shows where the best photo spots are, and even took pictures herself. Thanks to her, we managed to get coffee and souvenirs—it turned out not so easy to find what we wanted.
She was very caring and concerned for us—even after we went to Búzios, she kept checking how we were, suggesting where to go and what to see and buy.

A very close-knit, friendly team, always ready to help.
REVIEW №12- Nikita, Saga Tour Operator
Good afternoon, Alexandra!
Thank you very much for the organization and support.
The tourist was very happy and said everything was top-notch :)
Paraty is definitely a place to recommend—it leaves no one indifferent. Porto Real is probably in the best spot on that coast.

Thank you!
Wishing you success in everything!

Alexandra!
Our clients have returned, very satisfied.
They left a special review about the guide in Quito:
In Quito, we had a wonderful guide named David.
During our three-day visit to Quito, your guide David was with us. He made our stay in Quito rich, interesting, and unforgettable. Not only does he know a lot about the city, the country, and its nature, he is also a truly interesting person himself. Our three days were filled with conversations about everything. Our knowledge of Ecuador is now practically encyclopedic—we learned so much. And the most important part was that it all happened through engaging discussions.
We’d like to highlight his punctuality, his thoughtfulness, and his attention to detail. His advice on restaurants and places to walk during our free time was invaluable. We’ve met many guides—this is the 103rd country we’ve visited. We don’t always get so lucky with a guide, but David was exceptional. Thank you to him and to all of you!!!

THANK YOU FOR THE EXCELLENT ORGANIZATION.
REVIEW №15- Elena and Evgeny

Dear colleagues, good afternoon!
I want to thank you for handling our group – a large and challenging one, with a very intense program – which you managed to organize and host at the highest level. Tremendous work – thank you so much, ladies!
Months of preparation, countless changes and additions – I know what it all cost us – but everything turned out perfectly. Thank you for your attention and patience.
For many tourists in the group – despite the number of countries they’ve already visited, practically the whole world – this trip became the best of them all!
That says a lot, and it was so nice to hear. I want to share this gratitude and pride in a job so well done with you!!!!

A poem dedicated to the Ada Tours guide!
In Rio, where sunlight meets golden skies,
Our guide Paulo greets us with kind, warm eyes.
He knows the whole city, where secrets lie deep,
And welcomes each guest with joy that’s sincere.
“Come on,” he says, “to Corcovado,
Christ calls you up to heaven’s shadow.
Then on to the beach, where waves beat the shore,
Copacabana invites us once more.”

Paulo will show us where samba resides,
Where Brazil’s true heartbeat endlessly thrives.
In favelas he sees not poverty, but life,
Where sparks of hope conquer struggle and strife.

With a smile, he leads us along every way,
Paulo’s our friend, our golden pathway.
A Brazilian guide, a master of wonder,
With him, Rio feels closer to heaven’s splendor.

This poem is from me, for you.

Good afternoon, Alexandra.
I want to thank you for organizing our vacation.
Our guides were simply outstanding – top class.
Pavel knows so much about Brazil and Rio in particular. He’s very easy to talk to, communicates effortlessly with people, is always learning something new, and gladly shares his knowledge. An excellent guide and a wonderful person.
And Tiago – we spent two days with him. He’s amazing. Even after 18 years of work, he hasn’t lost the ability to genuinely admire the beauty of the waterfalls. He still takes photos like it’s the first time.
With your guides, it’s never boring! Thank you once again!!!

Hello, Alexandra.
I am sending you the full version of the tourists’ feedback:
We are publishing our review after our trip through Argentina–Uruguay–Brazil with my wife. It is always a pleasure to share emotions when they are entirely positive! We want to thank the entire Ada Tours team who helped us organize the perfect journey. From the very idea of the trip to its completion, you were always in touch with us, tailoring excursions and building the itinerary based on our requests, while also giving valuable advice and making all necessary adjustments. Everything exceeded our already high expectations – the trip was very rich and exciting! We recommend this route to everyone, especially when its organization can be entrusted to professionals☺️
We would especially like to thank you for selecting wonderful guides and drivers. At every stage, everything went like clockwork – we never missed a single thing, and the drivers were always extremely polite and pleasant.
Our journey began in Buenos Aires with a city tour. We visited the main square – Plaza de Mayo, cathedrals, and saw key architectural monuments from the Spanish colonial period, as well as the modern financial center. We explored the vibrant and colorful La Boca district and the main city ports. We were lucky with the weather, and the tour was fascinating. The guide advised us to visit several additional places, and we chose the Recoleta Cemetery, where many of Argentina’s most famous figures are buried. After the tour, we asked to be dropped off near the entrance and bought tickets. The only issue we faced was that we couldn’t pay in cash, but other visitors kindly helped us with the payment. The cemetery left a strong impression on us – we would definitely recommend it as a must-visit.
In the evening, we went to a tango show that exceeded all expectations. We watched authentic Argentine tango performed to live music, enjoyed Argentine wine, and saw other artists showcasing traditional instruments. The show was incredible and allowed us to truly experience the local culture.
The next morning we traveled by ferry to Montevideo. The journey was very comfortable; we would only recommend bringing snacks and an extra layer of clothing, as despite the heat, the ferry was air-conditioned and quite cool inside. We loved the city itself – we managed to see all the main sights and stroll along the coast. Midway through the tour, a wonderful lunch was arranged for us, followed by a light meal at the hotel.
After Montevideo, we continued as planned to Patagonia, where we spent just under three days. This place amazed us – it’s like nowhere else on Earth. From our hotel, we could see the vast Lake Argentino with its turquoise waters (sometimes flamingos can be seen there, though unfortunately we didn’t). The scenery of the Patagonian steppe and mountains will remain in our hearts for a long time. We took an excursion to the Perito Moreno Glacier – a unique wonder, truly beyond words. Probably the most powerful impression of the whole trip came from this glacier and the national park. It’s something everyone should witness with their own eyes.
After our mini-journey in Patagonia, we went on to Iguassu Falls, viewing them from both the Argentine and Brazilian sides. The sight was utterly unique and magical! Jungle, soaring eagles, butterflies, monkeys, and an endless chain of waterfalls stretching beyond sight. The park’s trails are very well maintained, with rest areas to escape the heat and humidity, and facilities everywhere.
The final stop of our trip was Brazil’s tourist capital – Rio de Janeiro. We visited the Christ the Redeemer statue, with its breathtaking views of the city, then spent time on Copacabana Beach, enjoying the Atlantic Ocean.
Overall, our journey was amazing and very full! And most importantly – as comfortable as possible, considering how vast the geography of our route was. Thank you!
Once again, thank you!

Sincerely,
General Director
