Most Costa Ricans in tourism service speak English. To get a deeper understanding of the culture and more conversation with locals, travel with a bilingual trip coordinator. Talk to the fruit vendors. Meet families with small children. Chat with an artist.
Add a layer of connection and understanding to your trip with personal contacts. Avoid the stress of navigating and driving. Let your Director of Recreation and Relaxation handle logistics while you immerse in nature. Stay in unique small boutique hotels and ecolodges.
Costa Rica is often ranked as the safest country for travel in Central America.
In addition, our small groups travel with a professional driver in air-conditioned comfort. When making stops, our belongings are guarded at all times. We stay at secure lodging.
Later, as a first year zookeeper, I cared for an exhibit of macaws, parrots, and squirrel monkeys. I learned about their playful antics, curiosity, and social interaction. I read about how these highly intelligent birds live for 70 years, form life-long pair and flock bonds, and spend a lot of time and energy raising one or two chicks at a time.
Scarlet Macaws were difficult to find in Costa Rica when I first visited, living in only two areas. Now a combination of programs like reintroduction, reforestation, and nest boxes have increased the population and range of macaws. The 6 birds I am feeding were released into the wild in southern Costa Rica several days after this photo was taken. The scarlet macaw, green jungle, and waves of the oceans inspired the logo.
