Best trip of our lives and couldn’t be more thankful for Juan!!
We had never been to Costa Rica before and we love to be active and make memories via adventures when we travel. I came across Juan’s company Los Suenos Travel and started reading the reviews. Everyone spoke so highly of Juan and their experiences. I decided to reach out to Juan and see what tours he offered. Juan called me right away and instantly I felt relief. Juan was so warm and kind and informative. I was traveling with my twin 8 year old boys (one with medical issues) my father 74 and my husband. Juan helped me plan our trip from airport pickup and drop off to see monkeys, crocodiles, ATV riding, zip-lining, white water rafting, renting golf carts, to shopping and restaurants. I am forever grateful for trusting Juan and putting our trip in his very capable hands. We had one of the best experiences of our lives. Juan carlos took excellent care of us, he was timely every day, we felt extremely safe with him. Juan Carlos loves his country and knows so much history and wildlife!! We enjoyed learning from him. we were with juan 5 out of our 6 days and his energy and positivity never left. My family loved Juan and we made a friend for life! i can not recommend him enough. we will be back for sure!

Best Guide Ever!
Juan Carlos makes travel so much fun. He loves to laugh and is truly excited to show you the best of Costa Rica. We had him pick us up at the SJO airport (less expensive than all other companies). He helped us shop for groceries and fruit on the way to our resort in Los Suenos. Anytime we needed anything, he was there to help. We saw crocodiles and exotic birds, fed monkeys, went on ATVs and zip lines, and much more. My family loved being with Juan Carlos. We felt like we had made a true friend after being with him for just a short while. I can’t imagine trying to do all those things without him. Costa Rica was very hot in early March, but Juan Carlos kept us cool with his air conditioned van and a well timed smoothie stop. If you go to a seafood restaurant with him, the seafood platter is enough for four people! Get ready for a great time, lots of laughs and hugs when you tour with Juan Carlos at Los Suenos Travel.

We had the most fun in Costa Rica with Juan Carlos & his son, Jeremy, at Los Sueños Travel!
We’ve been to Costa Rica several times so we know we love the country, but Juan Carlos with Los Sueños Travel, made this past trip over-the-top extraordinary. This vacation was with our 2 young-adult girls, so we wanted to find something that would be more entertaining than their cell phones. From the moment I sent a message on the website, Juan Carlos was extremely responsive and asked many questions about my family to make sure we had the best experience for our interests. Because I waited until the last minute to book a tour, Juan Carlos wasn’t available on our first day, but he arranged to have his son, Jeremy, take us on an ATV tour. We had such an amazing time going through trails, streams, and overlooking the ocean. The only downside was how quickly the time flew by! Jeremy was wonderful, and concerned for our safety and genuinely wanted to make sure we were having fun. I never imagined that the next day doing a nature tour with Juan Carlos could be as fun, but the crocodile tour and visit with monkeys were filled with education, pure joy and exhilaration. I was not expecting the crocodile tour to be something my girls would enjoy, but I got a spontaneous hug from my daughter for giving her the best day ever with Juan Carlos. We know we will come back to Costa Rica, and will not hesitate to contact Juan Carlos again. He is an expert in providing the best Costa Rican experience possible. His values include family, gratitude, and joy, and he made us feel so welcomed. If you want to experience the meaning of Pura Vida, book a trip with Juan Carlos at Los Sueños Travel!

Beautiful Costa Rica!
We have just returned home having had a fantastic holiday in Costa Rica. Our holiday was made very special by Juan Carlos who talked to us pre-holiday and asked us what we wanted to do and see. He then arranged tours to San Jose, a rain forest river trip and a national park visit. Every trip was personalised to us and we saw beautiful birds, crocodiles, monkeys, a rare white bat and many more wonderful animals. Juan Carlos was a fantastic guide who went the extra mile for us and he now feels like a friend.

Definitely recommend!
Juan Carlos was an amazing tour guide! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide for this trip. He knew all the best places to eat and took us to so many fun adventures. We had lots of laughs and made memories to last a lifetime. If you haven’t ever visited Costa Rica I highly recommend it, but only if you book with Juan Carlos!! He’s the best!!

Solo Travel- Amazing Time!!!
Had a wonderful time with Juan Carlos and Los Suenos Travel. As a solo traveler tours can be expensive since most are planned around two participants. Juan Carlos arranged an awesome time for me in Los Suenos that was not only economical, but exciting. From the half day fishing trip, to actually touching a crocodile, and feeding the monkeys, everything was fun and exciting. The restaurant recommendations were amazing, I had the best seafood I’ve ever had in my life. After getting back to the States, I was wishing I was back in Costa Rica just so I could get something to eat. It was a pleasure to spend time with Juan Carlos and his family. I can actually say I made a life long friend that I will be visiting every year.

Best Tour Guide in Costa Rica
Juan Carlos at Los Suenos travel makes family adventures in Costa Rica hassle free. We reached out to him based on other reviews left here and it was so easy to plan our three full days in the Los Suenos area. He met us each morning at our condo to pick us up and we had different adventures each day. The nature tour to see the crocodiles was fantastic. We got to hold the tail of 20 foot crocodiles! We saw monkeys, macaws, and even a sloth! We spend another day riding ATV’s and Ziplining. And our last day was spent white water rafting with expert guides that Juan Carlos knew. Anything we asked for: local restaurants, stopping at fruit stands, best souvenir shops, Juan Carlos delivered. When you go and have a fantastic tour guide, you can just sit back, relax, and enjoy the Pura Vida! Call Los Suenos Travel and you won’t be disappointed.

Outstanding! Incredible! Amazing! A MUST Experience!!
When we decided to travel to Costa Rica for the first time, our friends who have a condo there, where we stayed, suggested we meet Juan Carlos to assist us in our adventures. At first we just wanted to do it all on our own. We are SO happy we decided to meet this incredible man, turned our new friend for life. Juan Carlos gave us TOP NOTCH experiences that we could never have done on our own due to lack of knowledge about this beautiful country. He knows so much about Costa Rica and where all of the best places to see are, without a bunch of other tourists. He was our personal guide and as he said it, “Your the boss!”. We had a private crocodile, monkey, and ATV tour! Our zip lining experience had a few wonderful women and it still felt very private. They were fantastic! Juan Carlos also took us to and recommend THE best cuisine! To end our trip, he took us to his friend Jack to get tattoos that we had been wanting for a long time. Jack at Jack Member Tattoo in San Jose has done artwork for Juan Carlos’s entire family, so we trusted his work. Both tattoos came out absolutely stunning! 😍 We even got to meet Juan Carlos’ beautiful wife, which made our experience even better. We WILL be back soon and continue our friendship. If you are looking for the trip of a lifetime, contact Juan Carlos. I just cannot say enough good things about him. He is super funny, friendly, knowledgeable, fun, and a genuine human being! He treated us like family !♥️🐒🌎🐠🌴🐊
