Great first-timer trip. Not very difficult but still culturally and spiritually challenging for Christians with less expereience. We chose to spend one night at a hotel with hot springs near the volcano and take a zip-line tour in the rainforest (hence the extra costs) but it’s definitely worth it for everyone. |

Wonderful! It’s very helpful to have at least one translator. Jorge is hilarious and great to work with but does not speak much English. |
