Travel story
A trip to Costa Rica is like a moment weaving a poem of nature. When you land at San Jose airport, the exotic breeze caresses your cheeks, and your heart already announces the beginning of an adventure. On the way to Cahuita, lush landscapes spread outside the window, heightening the anticipation of the journey.
The next morning, encountering the gentle figures of sloths at the sloth sanctuary makes you forget the passage of time. In the Sarapiquí Nature Reserve, colorful butterflies and birds dance around, making you feel as if you are inside a painting woven by nature. The chocolate-making experience, infused with the scent of cacao, engraves sweet memories in your heart.
In the early morning at San Gerardo de Dota, you catch your breath at the beauty of the quetzal and savor the moment of touching nature's mysteries. At the Los Angeles Church in Cartago, you are moved by the depth of history and healed by the sacred spring of water.
This journey is a story woven by nature and history. It is a journey where you listen to the voice of the Costa Rican land and carve a new poem in your heart.
