Our mission
We are a group of Costa Ricans who, seeing the lack of support for local talent in the tourism sector, decided to create an information center based on the Nicoya Peninsula; seeking to help our clients, with the charisma that characterizes the Costa Ricans and at the same time our clients support the local talent and leaving their mark in the Blue Zone of Costa Rica.
What our clients say
“My friends and I were looking for something to do in this beautiful part of the country and we spotted this place. The lady at the front, Auxi she was brilliant at helping me and my 4 friends find something we all liked. She actually cared because she could tell we were all so indecisive. We went with the horse tour and sunset, the price was very reasonable and she even provided pick up at our hotel. It was a lovely experience. Thank you!”
