My trip highlights was definitely the white water rafting. We had done it before in Croatia, and had thought that that was good, but then it was unbelievably better in Costa Rica. What I didn't expect was the amount of travelling within the trip. I had briefly read through the plan, but I'm not sure whether the four hour journeys were mentioned. For the advice, I would recommend a good camera, as there are many opportunities to take some exciting photos. ( FCCT - 23rd July 2011)
