Why Costa Rica?



  • Breathtaking Nature & Wildlife: Costa Rica is a nature lover's paradise, home to lush rainforests, sprawling volcanoes, and more than 500,000 species of animals and plants. Imagine hiking through the Arenal Volcano National Park, spotting vibrant toucans and sloths, or wandering through cloud forests filled with exotic flora and fauna.

Many of the country’s top attractions, such as Tortuguero National Park and Corcovado National Park, are focused on conservation efforts. As you explore this tropical haven, you can feel good knowing you're supporting eco-friendly tourism.

  • Relaxing Beaches: Costa Rica’s beaches are diverse and stunning, from the surf-friendly shores of Santa Teresa to the peaceful, serene sands of Manuel Antonio. Relax with a beachside massage, take a sunset walk along the shore, or unwind with a refreshing coconut drink. 

  • Warm, Welcoming People: The "Ticos," as the locals are known, are incredibly friendly and proud of their country. Whether you’re learning about Costa Rican coffee production, enjoying a traditional casado meal, or chatting with a local guide about the best hidden spots, you’ll quickly feel at home.

Another fabulous trip!
Rey has booked several domestic and international trips for me over the years. Each time the experience was fantastic. Rey is not only a knowledgeable and experienced travel agent, he is patient with groups and always provides stellar customer service. The resorts are always fabulous and his recommendations on what to do when we arrive at our destinations make my vacations more enjoyable. I’ve counted on Rey to book fabulous vacations for over 10 years and he always delivers the best. I’ve always enjoyed the individual attention and care Rey provides his clients. He understands the apprehension that comes along with trying new places and is thorough and accommodating as a result. He’s also great at making suggestions on future vacations and I’ve never been disappointed when I follow his suggestions. Rey will remain my travel confidante for many years to come. He’s the best, hands down!

We have worked with Rey for many years and have always enjoyed the experience. Most of our travel has been river cruises in Europe but last year we did a trip to South Africa. Rey is very thoughtful, thorough and responsive.

July 4th Fun!!!
Rey and the Almeda Travel family have been so good to my family in assisting us in all of our travel needs/goals from beginning to return. Rey has shown nothing but the utmost professionalism, patience,guidance, and quality service that is so difficult to find these days. We have trusted Almeda Travel for the last 5-6 years for our vacations and will continue to do so, I also strongly recommend if you’re looking for an agent/team that is knowledgeable and consumer responsive go with Almeda Travel!
