hi everyone.
Please can you help my partner and I .
We are at the beginning of planning a trip to Costa Rica. I visited there many, many, years ago ( non birding trip ) . My partner has never visited. We are both keen birders. We also both like mammals, too, flora, fauna, butterflies and dragonflies.
We would like to visit Costa Rica, prior to April next year, 2018, when my partner's current holiday leave year expires. He has 15 days leave remaining to use.
We would not wish to self drive.
We both prefer to use guides on overseas trips, though might be prepared to do some self guiding, but not for the whole duration of any trip.
I have a ruptured cruciate ligament in my left knee. I wear strapping on the leg, in the field and can comfortably walk 3 miles, if pushed 5 , but find steep downward inclines hard and find very rocky terrain hard. I am 51 and my partner 62.
Which parts of Costa Rica would you recommend as a must see, please ?
Which month should we time our visit for ?
What guides would people recommend please.
We are keen bird and mammal watchers. My partner is also keen to ideally see poison arrow frogs, American crocodile and Manatee.
We would be grateful for any advice , tips or help.
Thanking you, in advance for your assistance,
best wishes, Carol
