We offer a combination of attractions! Firstly, the chocolate tour starts with the cultural and biological background of cocoa in the world and here in Costa Rica. It further introduces into the collecting, fermenting, grinding and finally the making of chocolate, the drink of the gods. Secondly, we talk about coffee and its importance for Costa Rica's economic and cultural development. We have a showroom with important coffee picking instruments and a better explanation of the process of coffee production. We want to show you how to make Café-Chorreado, the real Costa Rican practice of preparing coffee. Finally, we want to look at one of the most important aspects of Costarican culture and tradition, the trapiche: A sugar cane-mill run by two beautiful oxen (Fast & Furious). Here we grind sugar cane to extract the juice and make all kinds of local and delicious candy (Dulce, Sobado, Espumas and Miel) you can try. This is for sure the sweetest tour in the area.

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we traveled with a group of 10 friends. Los Suenos Transfers was a huge part of our trip, because of the size of our group. They picked us up at the airport and drove us to Los Suenos. The bus is very clean and they had refreshments for the ride. We stopped halfway for some food and drinks while we viewed huge crocodiles from the bridge. The excursion to Manuel Antonio was awesome!! Diego and his brother Albarro were very knowledgeable being local and very informative about Costa Rica. Diego stopped the bus and saved a sloth trying to cross the road! We used Los Suenos Transfers for many trips while in Costa Rica and always felt welcome with their warm and pleasant demeanor. They were always on time and got us where we needed to be. Many times they would stop and show us things about their beautiful country such as panoramic views to macaws, monkeys, sloths, and crocodiles. I highly recommend Los Suenos Transfers if you want to make your trip better. Thank you Diego and Albarro for making us feel like family. Pura Vida!!!

This was an amazing tour!!! I’m so glad we didn’t miss this! Our guide Johnny was so informative and fun to talk with. They had amazing equipment and we were able to see lots of sloths, poisonous frogs, lizards, birds, owls and tons of cool bugs! The one on one experience made it easy to ask questions and go at our own pace. The only draw back was that we forgot to use bug spray and got eaten alive. It was worth it though! We would do this tour again in a heart beat!

This was an excellent tour from the port for $25.00 a person. It was 3 to 3.5 hours long. We had a driver and a tour guide and both spoke english. It was a good tour and we saw a wild three toes sloth climbing down from a tree as well as a large Aguana. We tasted fruits, cocao, and coconut milk. We got to see lots of the small city and the country side.
