Jorge Rodriguez - Your best guide in Costa Rica - We have recently returned, a family with 2 teenagers, from a lovely 10-day trip to Costa Rica organized by Jorge Rodriguez of Expeditions 506. We approached Jorge following recommendations and... read more immediately felt that we had come to the right place. He offered us a plan according to the areas of interest we gave him, and was flexible and completely open already at this stage in terms of changes in routes, hotels, etc., so that we could tailor the trip that suited us specifically.
Jorge is a charming and kind person. He has a true love for nature, and along the journeys and the footpaths he was able to amazingly locate animals from afar, sometimes by their sounds, and was patient until each one of us managed to see them as well.
The rich knowledge he shared during the trip in the fields of fauna, flora, history and geography is undoubtedly the result of many years of experience and endless curiosity in the field. Every question we had, he answered patiently and comprehensively. From the beginning to the end, he managed to maintain positive energy and vigor, and the whole family loved him sincerely. Since we were with two teenagers, he managed to create the right combination between nature trips and various attractions that attracted the young people more (rafting, canyoning, omega, ATVs and more), so we all felt satisfied and happy.
In conclusion, we strongly recommend a trip that is a real experience with Jorge.

Pura Vida Costa Rica - The Best Trip in the World! - We just came back from 10 days trip in Costa Rica.
This was one of our best trips ever in regarding to the country, the company - 506 Expeditions,... read more and the two tour guides Gerardo Zamora and Jorge Rodriguez.
My wife and I traveled all over the world and Costa Rica is in the top 5.
It is a beautiful country with great people, and there is a lot to see and do.
Regarding the company, Expeditions 506, it is an excellent company with great customer service. Maria Nand, the office manager (congratulations for the birth of her son, Santiago), is doing a great job with the recommenations and reservations of the hotels, national parks, and everything that you need to reserve ahead of your trip to Costa Rica.
Jorge Rodriguez , the company owner, and Gerardo Zamora, the tour guide, can give you all the information about what to do in Costa Rica before the trip and to let you know everything and feel very comfortable before arriving in Costa Rica.
Regarding the trip itself, we traveled with Gerardo Zamora for the 3 days and he took us across all of northern Costa Rica in the area of Arenal around the city of Fortuna. We visited the extreme parks, including the rappeling, zip lines, and rafting.
After these 3 days, we met with Jorge Rodriguez, the company owner, and one of the best tour guides in the world!
He took us to the area of Monte Verde and one of the most beautiful days was in the Tenorio Volcano National Park. In this park Jorge Rodriguez showed us what it's like to be a tour guide that "see evertyhing and knows everything".
The amount of birds and animals that we saw in this park and the other ones thanks to Jorge and his telescope was specatuclar!
After the trip in Monte Vedge, we travled to Manuel Antonio and we visited Manual Antonio National Park. It is a great park on the pacific ocean with beautiful trees and animals.
Another great day was in Nauyaca Waterfalls, where we swam in the pools of the waterfalls.
It was one of the most beatiful trips of our lives.
If we could, we would have given more than 5 stars for the company and the tour guides.
We really recommend to travel with them if you go with adult friends or with family members of all ages, or even if you want to take your business company for a tour in Costa Rica.
All together, we give to this trip and company - Perfect 10!

Fantastic Costa Rica - My partner and I have just returned from an amazing, magical 3 week trip to Costa Rica. Juan, Jorge and Maria from 506 helped us organise our trip and travel... read more arrangements setting up a WhatsApp group so that we were always able to communicate and change a plan, mainly when stormy weather conditions and visibility prevented us going to Poas volcano so we ended up with a fascinating visit, in sunny conditions, to the oldest wet coffee mill in the country. Our driver, Juan, made this all so easy for us. His excellent driving along with his local knowledge - best coffee, best restaurants, flora, fauna and bird life - absolutely made our trip. His English is excellent, lots of entertaining stories - there was much laughter! We definitely have new, good friends. We would highly recommend 506 expeditions for couples, families, everyone!

Traveld from San Juse to Manuel Antonio... read more toMonte Verde, Arenal, Rio Selesta, Lapass, and more with just the right time in each. Traveled with my 11 years daughtet and always felt safe while getting all the help with booking and time table planing and even enjoying great atmosphere, deep interesting talks and valuable insights from a very smart, kinde and knoledgable guide and a convinient well kept car and high standard. Just an example: did not stop to fuel with us even once in 10 days so we have more time to tour arround 🙂
