Muy buen trato por parte de los monitores, profesionales, atentos y muy simpáticos. Repetiríamos sin duda

  Where do I begin?.. When my friend Alice and I first met Misael at Playa Cocles for our first ever surfing lesson, we had no idea that this was only... read more the beginning of an unbelievable week filled with soul-filling experiences and adventures with Surf the Jungle.

Misael has such a passion for surfing and such a calm and confident energy about him that he really made our introduction to surfing such a special experience. Although I unfortunately wasn't a natural at surfing, I had the best time and felt incredibly safe throughout with Misael and his friend Beto guiding us.

We had such a great time surfing with Surf the Jungle that we decided to do a kayak/SUP river tour at Punta Uva with them again two days later. Misael, Polina & Cindy joined us and we just had the best crew vibes!! Little did I know, this would be not only one of the most magical days of the trip, but one of the most magical days of my life!! The river tour itself was so much fun and filled with animals! We then kayak/SUP'd on the ocean which was a pretty special feeling, and then we hiked near the beach where we ate coconuts and different fruits straight from the trees and shared a special moment with a sloth that was crawling on the ground.

On our last day in Puerto Viejo we decided we wanted to try surfing again, but there were no waves so Misael suggested we do the chocolate tour. We originally didn't think this tour would interest us as much, but I'm so glad we did it! Polina and Cindy joined us again and we visited an indigenous community and learned so much about the different healing and practical aspects of all of the amazing Costa Rican vegetation. We then made our very own chocolate and I'll never have a hot chocolate experience quite that special again! We topped off the day by visiting the Violo waterfalls and jumping off big rocks into perfectly cool water.

With every experience we had with Surf the Jungle we felt more and more connected to Puerto Viejo and Costa Rica and felt so incredibly fortunate to have met people like Misael who is originally from Puerto Viejo and clearly has such a love and respect for its ocean, nature and people.

Our week in Puerto Viejo is one I will never forget and Surf the Jungle was such a crucial part of that.

I can't wait to visit Puerto Viejo again and see Misael, Polina and Cindy who really became friends!! 🙂

  My partner and I had a 2 hour surf lesson with Misael and it was incredible! We both had never surfer before and by the end of the lesson we... read more could both stand on the board. Misael was super friendly and went the extra mile the whole lesson. He stopped to show us the wildlife including monkeys, sloths and turtles and picked up some Cacao from a tree for us to enjoy. 10/10 experience and would highly recommend!
