We traveled to Puerto Limon via Holland America Zuiderdam. We set up our own travel tour with Sr. Humphreys who has had good following. The driver and the cab were top notch in showing us the various floral and plant species enroute to Varagua. So far the trip was great. Then we arrived at the Veragua Park. You pay a... More

We had previously travelled to Costa Rica, and it is very hard to match the beauty and wonder of the Monteverde Cloud forest. Although we were a bit disappointed by this rainforest in comparison to Monteverde, I think that most travelers will enjoy visiting this rainforest park. There is a lovely aerial tram that provides an excellent view of the... More

I booked this excursion through yourluckytour.com, specifically Eduardo Humphreys rather than through the ship. Because I walked to the world outside the pier, I was afraid I'd be late. Eduardo was waiting with my name on a sign. Five of us set off to the rainforest. Having never been to Costa Rica, I was anxious to asorb as much information... More

My wife and I and two daughters (14 and 10) visited Veragua in mid-February. While overall I’m glad that they are trying to introduce people to the rainforest, I found it both too controlled and disorganized at the same time. I’m glad that they are trying to teach people about nature, but perhaps a little more direct experience of it... More

We stayed two days in Veragua and loved every minute of it. The staff were exceedingly helpful and friendly. The facilities were top-notch and we had a young and dynamic guide show us around the park. The best part about Veragua is that it's not just a natural park, it's also a research center where students, researchers and scientists gather... More

Good points - beautiful rainforest, wonderful staff, butterfly exhibit. Bad points - a little expensive in my opinion for what we experienced (shore excursion with Celebrity), crowded and I felt we did a lot of waiting around. The tour was 3.5 hours and I felt I could have done it in 1.5 hours. I'm not sure if there are always... More

This is a real GEM! We visited on a Celebrity cruise excursion in early January 2013 and were fortunate to have no rain. It is located an hour or so from the Costa Rican port of Limon. The drive by tour bus is smooth except for the roads into the rainforest which are slow and very bumpy. The Veragua is... More

We took the Veragua Rainforest Park tour from our Princess Panama Canal cruise on 12/26/12. This is a very well organized and structured park with a tour and world class facilities. There is a food court offering your typical fare and good coffee. Bathroom facilities were very clean. The group guide was very knowledgeable and explained the animals, frogs, butterflies,... More

Leo Garrigues got us a really cool cabin here - very rustic but awesome. He introduced us to several of the researchers and we saw actual work being done, studying Splendid Leaf Frog breeding. Several night walks revealed kinkajous, Mottled Owls, and we heard the Great Pootoo as well as a red poison dart frog. The place was incredibly elaborate... More
