And… Who Are We to Offer You All This?

We are Ligia Morera and Rodrigo Santamaría, and one hike changed everything. 

Back in our college years, we started dating. Instead of fancy restaurant dinners and dressing up, we were all about hiking shoes, muddy trails, and chasing waterfalls. One of our first big adventures was climbing Cerro Chirripo, the highest mountain in Costa Rica. And guess what? Amidst the breathtaking views and sore muscles, we discovered something truly magical—we wanted to spend our lives together, exploring and uncovering all the hidden gems of our beautiful country.

Since then, we’ve visited the most popular destinations, but our true passion lies in connecting travelers with locals. We believe that the heart and soul of Costa Rica are best experienced through its people.

Now, as a family with two little explorers, Eithan and Isaac, we continue our adventures. We love helping families and adventure travelers find the hidden gems in Costa Rica. Whether it’s a secluded beach, a secret waterfall, or a charming village, we are dedicated to making your journey as enriching and unforgettable as ours have been.
