Our Travel Experts: Costa Rica

Travel can touch in so many ways. There are places that we have all read about but how do we manage to get there? I feel Costa Rica is one of those bigger than life natural wonderlands. Where else can you see flocks of toucans fly overhead as you sit out on your hotel terrace enjoying coffee, or sit in a jacuzzi fed by hot water direct from a live volcano and watching it erupt several times a night, all the while counting fireflies. And what about the surfing? When there is a good south swell where do you go to catch the perfect wave? What hotels are closest to the best surfing beaches? Knowledge about Costa Rica is what I share with you when customizing your trip. After traveling extensively throughout the country and exploring both coastlines, I have all kinds of great ideas to make your vacation shine! Ready to see trees full of monkeys? They’re ready for you… as I am!

Central America is one of the best keep secrets! It has so much to offer: jungles, beaches, white river rafting, volcanoes, hot springs, scuba diving, canopy tours, hiking, rain forest and lots more. The scenery alone is well worth the trip and then to have all the different choices, five-star resorts to jungle lodges, makes it a wonderful area to visit and fun to plan a trip to. I recently returned from Costa Rica, and have traveled to Belize and Honduras. I would love arranging a vacation for you to any of these areas and I know you will return with such great memories, you will want to go back again.

After visiting Costa Rica and seeing all of its beauty, I fell in love with the country as well as with the whole idea of ecotourism and conservation. At that time, I realized I wanted to specialize and spend more time in this area.

I love arranging trips to Costa Rica because the itineraries always are different, based on people’s interests, and it’s always gratifying to know my customers will have so many wonderful memories of this unique destination and will be excited to share their personal experiences.

You don’t have to travel far for fantastic scenery, exotic animals and eclectic adventure choices, still maintaining the sense of being in a faraway land where time seems to have conveniently stopped. The countries of Central America and the states of Mexico offer a cornucopia of adventure, exploration, ancient history and incredible art, to mention but a few attractions. These are still as yet somewhat “undiscovered” in comparison to the usual vacation list toppers like Hawaii and Caribbean Islands. If your penchant is relaxing on stark white sand beaches at a 5-star hotel or, on the other side, 4-wheeling yourself to hot springs, volcanoes, rainforests or mysterious Mayan ruins, Central America and the interior of Mexico is a place that is a “must” to consider. Perhaps you would like a combo of both luxury and soft adventure. No problem! It is ALL available for you.

Whether diving or snorkeling islands of Honduras or Belize, hiking the lush, verdant countryside of Costa Rica or watching the magical Day of the Dead celebration in Oaxaca, this will be a vacation that feels like a vacation. I’ve had the opportunity to travel extensively around these beautiful countries, communicating with the locals, exploring their secrets and I can assure you, these are destinations that beg to be discovered. Do it NOW before they get too discovered. Please contact me for professional travel planning to this amazing area of our planet.
