at some destinations or maybe some can be skipped while traveling to save time and get to
other locations.
At the end, the map is a good guidance point and it serves to show the displacement that it
is intended to do on the Nomad Expedition. It is also a great help when looking for places to
stay for the night different from the ones suggested.
Regarding the adventure tours (ziplines, rafting, Monteverde Cloud Forest, etc), we can help
you make those bookings from our office. Very important to ensure availability of spaces for
the tours of your interest. Let us know specific dates if you want help with this. Most of them
can be booked a few days before.
