Oldman did a great job getting everything booked. Our Arenal guide, Monica, was amazing and knowledgeable. Our driver/guide for Poas was also great. We really enjoyed the entire trip, especially the stay in Samara. We don’t usually do beach vacations, but two slow days at the end of this trip, away from the tourists (like us), really fit our needs greatly that we didn’t even know we needed. I will definitely recommend Kimkim to friends

El Silencio Hike & Visit to Ecotermales Hot Springs
Arenal/La Fortuna
We loved the El Silencio hike and our guide Monica. Ecotermales was a fun hot spring, but we’ve been to several so this was not new for us.

Hello Steve,
Thank you so much for your kind words!
