I have been a travel addict since my early twenties and I see travel as a means to discover and explore the world. It is not just about places, it is above all about people and the amazing stories they can tell. Since I was young, I've always enjoyed coupling my talent for organisation with my creativity to design special trips for the most curious and discerning travellers. My home country offers so many opportunities for new experiences and emotions that it never ceases to amaze me.
I founded my own tour operator to scratch my own itch - I wanted to be able to plan authentic trips, a mix of known tourist attractions with off-the-beaten-track excursions, trips that I wanted to take myself. Costa Rica offers something for everyone and with our diverse team we have tested and tried the best hiking routes, the ideal scuba diving areas, the best places to stay on a budget, the most family-friendly hotels and much more. With over 20 years of experience in the travel industry, we’re ready to create and execute trips that will create memories to last a lifetime.
Our tours are best suited to those looking for unique and authentic experiences.

Hailing from the rural landscapes of Northern Costa Rica, close to the local Maleku Indians, I am a passionate outdoors enthusiast, foodie, technology, and science geek, rollerblader, and avid dancer.
I specialize in tailored journeys for those seeking outdoor thrills, relaxing getaways, nature-focused visits, and even niche travels, such as birdwatching adventures.
Also, am always up for a challenge with off-the-beaten-path trip planning, and even making dreams come true when the opportunity arises of celebrating special occasions and events, such as weddings or honeymoons.
Our experience of over 30 years goes about planning the best-tailored trip for your enjoyment and satisfaction, however, we specialize in the medium to upscale scenario and provide a great fit for families and specialized travelers who are looking for specific travel opportunities within Costa
Rica. Our transportation options available go from the usual shared shuttle transportation to Lux Vans with Private Guide and Driver, as well as local flights for the most time-efficient
requirements.
