It's important that you understand that this is an adventure trip, and therefore there are always unexpected events.
It's equally important to keep in mind that you're going to one of the countries with the most wildlife! If you're afraid of reptiles, please choose another of our trips.
It's very normal for situations like this to happen: encounters with animals you don't have at home, weak or non-existent internet, broken air conditioning, shower water pressure and temperature issues, food that isn't as good as your mother's, etc… but thankfully everything is different; if it were all the same, there would be no point in leaving home. Also, unfortunately, we can't guarantee good weather; sometimes it rains, the sea is rough, and it's important to be aware that there may be changes to the itinerary, but what would a trip be without adventure?!
If you invite a friend to come on the tour, it is essential that you inform them of this information. What we don't want is a grumpy traveler who has been "dragged" by their friends, this can ruin the fun and relaxed atmosphere of the group.
Generally all the hotels from LEVA-ME are 5 stars. We will be staying in double/twin rooms. If you are traveling alone, you will share a room with another traveler. of the same sex (it is possible that in some situations you may have to stay in a triple room or share a double bed). If you're traveling as a couple or with a friend, you'll have your own private room.
Contact us for more information. If there's availability at all hotels, we can accommodate an additional room. You'll need to pay the single supplement. Please contact us to find out if this is possible and how much it costs.
You should only purchase your flight after paying for the tour and confirming with LEVA-ME that your reservation is finalized and the tour confirmed.
We confirm the trip when all the necessary conditions are met, including reaching the minimum number of travelers and finalizing all organizational issues (reservations, transfers, activities, etc.). Confirmation usually occurs several months before the trip, but it can take up to 20 days before the date. Once the trip is confirmed, we will send you an email so you can purchase flights and send us the flight details/schedules. If the trip is canceled for reasons beyond LEVA-ME's control, we will refund the amount paid to LEVA-ME, but we are not responsible for the flights purchased by the traveler.
Of course, most of our travelers travel alone. It's a trip to meet new people and make friends.
First of all, you'll be with your LEVA-ME tour leader throughout the trip. Then, you'll spend a week with other travelers who, like you, share a passion for travel, adventure, and discovery... and who are seeking new emotions and unforgettable moments on this trip. Our travelers range in age from 20 to 70. I guarantee the atmosphere is a lot of fun, and you'll end the trip with a new group of friends. Some of you already know each other from previous trips, and now you'll be part of their group too.
Travelers departing from Lisbon or Porto can meet at the boarding gate to get acquainted before their trip. If you are traveling on the same flights as our tour leader, you may also meet them at the airport. In some cases, the leader may already be at the destination, waiting for the travelers.
We will keep the flight details and schedules for all participants. There is only one transfer from San José airport to the hotel. If you are traveling on another plane and arrive at the same time or before most of the group, you can wait at the airport and we will all go together on that transfer. If you arrive later in San José, you will have to make your own way to the hotel.
Of course, you can, but you'll be on your own until we meet at the hotel. We don't make reservations for extra nights, but we'll let you know the hotel if necessary so you can book directly.
We confirm your trip when all the necessary conditions are met, including reaching the minimum number of travelers and finalizing all organizational issues (reservations, transfers, activities, etc.).

First of all, you will be there throughout the trip with the LEVA-ME trip leader. Then you will spend a week with other travelers, just like you have a common taste for travel, for adventure, for discovery… and who seek new emotions and unforgettable moments with this trip. Our travelers range in age from 20 to 70. We guarantee that the atmosphere is great fun and that you will end the trip with a new group of friends.
The vast majority of our groups are Portuguese travelers, but it is common for us to occasionally have travelers of other nationalities.
Since the tour leaders and most travelers are Portuguese speakers, Portuguese will be the preferred language. Our guides and drivers all speak some Portuguese, French, and Spanish. If you have any difficulty understanding, your tour leader can help.
The trip leader is the person who will accompany you throughout your trip, helping you enjoy your destination in a more relaxed manner. It's important to understand that a trip leader isn't a tour guide who will tell you about the history of monuments or cultural details; for this reason, we occasionally have local guides who have studied the country to answer all your questions. The trip leader's goal is to handle all the logistics so you don't have to worry about accommodations, transportation, meals, and activities. At the same time, the trip leader's role is to introduce the group to the country and its culture in general, creating a fun and respectful environment among travelers. They will be a friend who will always be available to help you if you need it.
As passionate about the world, we strive to make our travels as sustainable as possible. Whenever possible, we work with companies and hotels that have a sustainability certificate. We provide our travelers with information on how to be responsible tourists. We strive to work with small businesses and hotels to stimulate the local economy. We avoid practices that negatively impact the population or location we visit, nor do we sell activities that exploit animals.
All travelers are welcome on our trips, but if you have a health problem that limits your physical condition in any way, we recommend that you speak to us before booking so we can advise you or recommend a LEVA-ME trip that we think is more suitable.
Be over 18 years of age. Those over 16 are welcome when accompanied by their parents. The price is the same as for an adult.
No, just bring your clothes, comfortable walking shoes, a raincoat, flip-flops, and a bikini.
Of course! We don't like trips that have every minute planned out, although this is perhaps the most comprehensive one we have at LEVA-ME. Our trip will be busy, but there will also be time for you to explore on your own!
Some meals are included. Vegetarian options are always available when requested in advance; however, those with gluten and lactose intolerances will need to manage their diet accordingly.
There are no mandatory vaccinations for entry into China, with the exception of the yellow fever vaccine for passengers coming from affected areas (which is not the case for Portugal).
Costa Rica is considered one of the safest and most stable countries in Latin America, without the security problems of other countries in the region, and receives many tourists every year. Even so, opportunistic crime (petty theft) exists, so you should take normal precautions, especially in San José: do not display valuables and do not leave objects in plain sight, particularly in cars and on the beach.
All seats can be reserved.
This happens because the last available seat on the trip is to share a room with another person of the same sex.
Exactly, when a trip is sold out, it's sold out. Unfortunately, we can't add any more people because we don't have any available rooms or transportation. You can always stay on the waiting list, and if anyone cancels, we'll contact you.
No. Seats are only reserved after payment has been made.
