In March 2020, I travelled to Costa Rica with friends to explore and one of my friends had traveled with CostaRicanNature before. Although I didn’t have many expectations for I had never been on a trip like this before, I don’t believe the trip could’ve gone any better! CostaRicanNature not only got us wherever we wanted to go, but gave us a full-on cultural experience in local towns with the opportunity to try Costa Rican foods as well as learn some dances.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Joseph, the founder of CostaRicanNature for 10 plus years. My family and I were treated like family and were given a truly local experience. We went whitewater water, canyoning, horseback riding on the mountains, volcano visits, and coffee tours. Joseph is very knowledgeable, friendly, and speaks excellent English. We felt very comfortable with him as he knew the best places to take us and was a great translator! I visited Joseph 4 times throughout the past years and I’m planning to visit again with my husband!

I have been lucky enough to have CostaRicanNature as my travel planner all three times I’ve been to Costa Rica and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to introduce me to the beautiful country. I came into my first visit knowing very little about Costa Rica, but left with not only an expanded Spanish vocabulary but a new love for the country.
