A word from the Director www.caribeshuttle.com
N
o matter how many times I travel around Costa Rica, Panama and Nicaragua, I am always amazed at the diversity of nature and climate that can be found in such a small area. You can go from cold and rainy mystical cloud forest to hot and sunny beach in a few hours on any given day of the year. You can experience a dense jungle to near desert climate or a remote archipelago of islands to bustling First World international city – all in half a day by car! Qué loco diversidad! I recently did some traveling to several of our shuttle destinations shooting promotional videos in Bocas del Toro, Monteverde, Arenal, Tamarindo and San Juan del Sur. It reminded me just how lucky I am to be able to live and work in such a special place on this planet and that I get to call it home. No matter where your travels take you while you are in Central America, I hope you are as amazed and appreciative as I am by the wondrous beauty and diversity of this truly unique place. Happy travels,
