Kobe was exceptionally attentive during the planning process. He was open to my ideas, took into consideration our budget, and made wonderful suggestions. He communicated clearly and concisely ensuring I understood everything being presented and was flexible with changes. He worked very diligently to create a trip that would meet our desires and expectations. Kobe was very easy to work with.

Hotel Review
El Refugio
Rio Claro

Río Claro is amazingly beautiful. It is full of birds and gorgeous! The climate is hot and humid so prepare to sweat while engaging in activities. To get to the Refugio cabins you will need to be able to ascend and descend steep stairs. Once in the cabin the view is spectacular!
