Poly, one of our local experts in Brazil, is from Minas Gerais; a stunning, inland region with verdant rolling landscapes, picturesque colonial towns… and delicious food. We thought that we’d ask her what her favourite dish was so that you could try it and enjoy the flavours of her homeland too.

Excellent trip, everything worked as planned

NB - Full debrief given to Marianna at TravelLocal's local partner. We had done our research and had a good idea of what we wanted to cover in 3 weeks. Marianna was very responsive in building an itinerary that fitted what we wanted. In practice, the logistics worked well with the odd text to Marianna to check up and the accommodation, though varied, was all within the range of what we were looking for. Would recommend highly Costa Rica and TravelLocal's local partner - and have already done so

What was good about our local partner based in Costa Rica?

Highly flexible in meeting our requirements, compare to others who usually want to force you into a standard package Quick to respond to any requests or queries from us, both before and during the trip Good choices of locations and accommodation Logistics and arrangements all worked very well

What could our local partner based in Costa Rica improve on?

Nothing significant.

What did you think about the guides or drivers on your trip?

All the guides were very professional and well informed. (Not always the case in other countries)

What advice would you give to other travellers planning a trip to Costa Rica?

Especially recommend El Silencio, Trogon lodge and Arenal Manoa. Also Villas Nicholas - simple accommodation but worked well Advise people that Drake's Bay and Tortuguero have more basic accommodation and food, though the locations are good if you like wilder places Encourage people to drive themselves as roads and driving standards are good

What was the most memorable part of your trip?

Too many to list! if pushed, maybe Trogon Lodge in terms of location, accommodation and food
