Nuria Oliveira

Hello! My name is Nuria, from Costa Rica. If you are reading this, you are one step closer to having the time of your life in paradise.

I am very excited to accompany you in this amazing journey and work together to create the best plan for your holiday.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I have had the pleasure to do most things in Costa Rica from coast to coast. I mostly specialize on outdoors activities, unique experiences with nature outside of the normal range offered.

I especially love offering itineraries with alternative routes and outside of the usual touristic experience. I look for details that will make every experience different."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Since I was a little girl I have traveled the world and by getting to know new places I have learned how unique and beautiful my country is: Costa Rica. After living for some time in Europe, I realized how extraordinary Costa Rica is - from its very rich flora and fauna to the charisma and warmth of its people.

My lifestyle has allowed me to work in tourism and to be able to share with others the unique experiences that only Costa Rica can offer."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of the most incredible experiences I have had in Costa Rica is when I visited a protected biological reserve for turtle spawning, incubation and hatching. We were woken up at the middle of the night because there was a massive hatching and they needed assistance to help the little turtles hatch, then get them safely through the beach to the water. Being there and part of such a spectacular event is an unforgettable time in life that made me feel connected to nature like never before."

Hotel Reviews
Arenal Paraiso Resort & Spa
La Fortuna

Wonderful staff and great amenities. Breakfast buffet is just ok but lunch/dinner food is fantastic. And what a view! Some hot springs pools and swim-up bar pool could be warmer and the bathroom in the rooms could be updated but overall, it was an incredible stay.
