    We had a wonderful experience from the time we were picked up, to the time we were dropped off. Our driver, Santos, was awesome! He was so knowledgable about the area, even the wildlife we would pass along the way that even the car ride was enjoyable. The waterfall was beautiful. The highlight of our trip was Tio Leo's coffee tour. Tio Leo had so much knowledge about coffee, cocoa, fruit trees, etc. This tour is very interactive so, besides walking around the coffee plantation and learning, you also get to participate in many activities! We had a wonderful time!

    More than what we expected!!
    Stephanie_H, Dec 2022
    We were so happy with this tour! We had so much fun at Tio Leo's coffee plantation and didn't expect to get and experience all that was included in this tour. Not only did we learn about how the coffee beans are grown, but we also learned about different types of beans and coffees. Also included in this tour was empanada making, juice tasting, coffee tasting, chocolate making and tasting, a short spa treatment to exfoliate our arms, and a plantain snack. We had so much fun and learned so much. And we even got to meet Tio Leo himself! He autographed our bags of coffee and mugs that we purchased! As far as the waterfall, we actually decided to replace this portion of the tour with an authentic Costa Rican lunch after the coffee tour because we had actually visited the waterfall a few days prior, not realizing we booked it twice. The tour company was more than accommodating to grant our request. They took us to a local restaurant that served us a delicious meal that we all enjoyed. Such a fun day. We would highly recommend!!

    Dear Stephanie, Thank you so much for your kind words! We are so pleased that you had such a great time! We are also glad that you were able to enjoy an authentic Costa Rican lunch instead of the waterfall - it sounds like it was a great experience. We are so happy that you recommend this tour and we hope to welcome you back soon!
    Family Fun!

    Many Unexpected Surprises (and coffee!)
    Karissa_P, Aug 2021
    This tour was fantastic. So many unexpected surprises. You get much more than you pay for. For coffee lovers don’t miss this one. Our guides were amazing. They told us so much about Costa Rica and our surroundings. The waterfall was closed the day we went and the guides quickly changed our plans for us and took us somewhere else. Gracias Santos and Jose!!!
    Awesome coffee plantation tour, good waterfall experience
    Shawn_W, Feb 2021
    We LOVED this tour! The private coffee plantation tour was amazing, authentic food, and a great driver. We just wish we had more history about the waterfalls (Cataratas de Cortés). We definitely enjoyed our time on the tour.
    A very special experience!
    Krystal_B, Jan 2021
    Wow! Highly recommend. What a great day. I thought the waterfall was going to be my favorite part, but the coffee tour exceeded my expectations! Such a great experience. Tio Leo (the owner) was our tour guide and made it so special. Definitely worth every penny. The waterfall was amazing too! Throughout the tour, the guide was awesome and very flexible with our request of stopping at a gas station for beverages and just really good energy overall. Loved it, thank you!
    A Perfect Day Excursion

    While staying in Tamarindo, we were looking to fill a couple days with fun activities. My cousin is a huge coffee aficionado, and suggested we try to find something related to that. While this area of Ganacaste is not generally known for it's coffee production, we were happy to find this tour. We were picked up by our driver/guide who was able to explain quite a bit about the area, and what was in store for us. First stop was the coffee plantation, which is more like a plant nursery, with many different flora suited to grow in Costa Rica. Tio Leo, the owner, was our personal guide through the grounds, which included coffee "cherry" picking, empanada making, coffee roasting and tasting, and sugar cane drink making. We even topped it off with a celebratory shot of Costa Rican rum! Tio Leo's also had a great shop where we were able to buy coffee, any gifts from local vendors to bring home. After this stop, we had lunch with our driver, and were able to enjoy even more traditional cuisine with good company. The final stop was the Llanos del Cortez Waterfall, which was a very cool experience. The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and the water itself was very clean, albeit a little chilly. After this, it was time to head home, where we were able to reflect on a great day in Guanacaste!
