Soon after I left school, I travelled around Costa Rica and discovered every single part of it!

I was born and raised in Costa Rica and have lived here my entire life. And ever since I could, I’ve been travelling the world.

Although, we do have a fairly small country, there’s an insane amount to explore, and I’m still exploring it today, seeking out new hiking trails, new lagoons, different viewpoints, that take you to places you hadn’t even knew existed before, it really is fascinating.
Due that passion for discovery and exploring new places eating away at me, I started my immersive travel company with a friend (over 18 years ago to be exact) and began having way too much fun helping people discover my wonderful country and the countries around it, so as soon as the possibility came around I just grabbed it, and have worked in the industry ever since.
We choose destinations that are not the same as all the other tour companies out there, those that are emerging or have something special about them, that most people don’t know about, we work with local companies that employ real locals and we choose hotels that are sustainable and have a positive impact on their environment.
We always ensure the people we work with are committed to sustainability, it’s our mission to spread the wealth of tourism, to make sure that the money from tourism is kept in the local communities so that the destination can be developed and conserved as a beautiful place to visit.
The tour starts and ends at San Jose Airport, where you will be picked up to begin your adventure before you’re dropped back off there at the end of the 10 nights. From there you’ll head west to Turrialba to explore national parks and authentic rural life, before transferring to the coast at Barra de Pacuare.
After your time in the ‘Costa Rican Amazon’, you’ll head south to Punta Cocles for some quality beach time, finally heading back to San Jose via a spectacular coffee plantation resort.
