  - Please note: For the more remote areas of Costa Rica, we use the best available hotel facilities with comfortable but simple guestrooms and eco-friendly amenities perfectly suited to the natural surroundings. This journey requires walking on uneven surfaces and steps and sometimes through heavy showers (rain ponchos provided). This journey is best enjoyed by the experienced traveller in good health and who can take such conditions in stride.
  - For the 2-night excursion to Tortuguero National Park, guests are permitted to bring a maximum of 25 lbs. (11 kilos) of luggage. Your primary suitcase will be transferred and securely stored at your Sarapiqui hotel.
