β€œYou bring the curiosity.
I bring the knowledge.
Costa Rica does the rest.”

β€” Kevin, Puriscal

Why most Costa Rica trips disappoint

Google sends everyone to the same five places.
The real Costa Rica is somewhere else entirely.

πŸ“

Wrong places

JacΓ³ and Tamarindo are overrun. The lodges where owners greet you by name, the cloud forests with no crowds β€” those don't rank on page one.

πŸ—“οΈ

Wrong timing

Costa Rica's two coasts have opposite weather. Most travelers only find this out when they arrive. The Quetzal in Monteverde peaks in February, not April.

🚌

Wrong logistics

The bus to Corcovado doesn't exist. The rental car requirement in the south isn't mentioned. Plans unravel on day two.

I solve all three. Because I live here.

Kevin β€” Costa Rica travel planner in Puriscal

The person behind the plan

I'm not a travel agent.
I live where you want to go.

I moved to the Puriscal region of Costa Rica in 2021. Not to a tourist town β€” to a remote, authentically Costa Rican community where the pura vida isn't a slogan, it's just Tuesday.

I came for the nature. I stayed for the people and the culture.

Over 5 years I've built 100+ custom itineraries for European travelers β€” couples on honeymoon, families with young kids, solo adventurers, groups of 10. Every one of them left having seen a Costa Rica that most tourists miss entirely.

Built around what excites you

Your Costa Rica, not everyone else's

Generic routes are for tour groups. Every itinerary I build starts with what you love.

What makes this different

Built on 5 years of living here.
Not researching here.

I live in Puriscal

Remote. Authentic. Non-tourist. I walk out my door into the Costa Rica you came to find.

🀝

Local partnerships, not algorithms

Family hotels, local guides, car rentals I trust personally. Real promo codes from real conversations with real owners.

No prepayment + extras you won't find elsewhere

Pay on arrival directly to the owners. No money at risk. Plus: I lend you a cooler and SIM card for the road, and stay reachable on WhatsApp from departure to return.

What they say after the trip

β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…

β€œI can't count how much time and stress we saved β€” or how many incredible places, without the crowds, we got to see. Both coasts, tailored perfectly for us. The eco farm, the parks and trails, even the local restaurant tips β€” everything made us feel completely looked after. The trip itself exceeded all our expectations. Pura Vida!”

β€œTailoring a trip for 8 people of different ages and requirements isn't easy β€” but Kevin pulled it off with class. We saw breathtaking places tourists never find: waterfall rappelling, natural pools, local restaurants that never disappointed. When it rained he had new ideas within minutes. You save time, money, and avoid stress. Bullseye choice.”
