Braunny Hidalgo Aguilar
Trip Designer
¡Hola! I'm Braunny, born and raised in La Fortuna, Arenal, Costa Rica.
My family, including my uncles, have been related to tourism for years, being my father the first sport fishing guide in the Arenal Lake and my uncle the very first naturalist guide in town. They motivated me to learn english since a kid, and they also took me to some beautiful places of Costa Rica which made me fall in love more and more of the nature, adventure and wildlife. I love sharing this passion I feel about Costa Rica and encourage my 2 little nieces to enjoy the beauties of this amazing country.
I have worked in tourism for about 15 years now, and it's very satisfying to hear back from my clients the wonderful memories they take back home after visiting Costa Rica, which is what I love the most about my job.
I love the adventure, hiking, exploring, and still so much more to explore here. Corcovado National Park is in my bucket list and La Fortuna Arenal my favorite place of the country, it just has everything from nature, adventure and relaxation.
I can't wait to use my local expertise to work with you on planning a memorable vacation.
¡Pura vida!

What travelers have said
We like the fact that Anywhere uses local people to put together the itineraries. As a traveler you’re more likely to get better suggestions and experiences from someone who knows more about the destination you’re going to. We would definitely consider using them again and recommend them to others.

Thank you Braunny for working with us. You put together an excellent and very enjoyable itinerary. We knew it was the rainy season as you had said but regardless of that we still really enjoyed our trip to Costa Rica. We definitely want to return. MonteVerde and the cloud forests are still something we would love to visit. Pura Vida !

Braunny was great at communicating with me in a timely manner and taking into consideration our family’s interests while crafting our itinerary. He did an incredible job with choosing the lodging, excursions and transportation and we thank him for all his efforts.

We had a wonderful time and the itinerary provided by Braunny far exceeded our expectations once we were on the ground in Costa Rica. We are so thankful to anywhere.com for provided an amazing and logistically seamless experience for our Costa Rica travel and would definitely keep anywhere.com in mind for future travels. Also, I wanted to mention that we were provided exceptional customer service by Andres at Faro Travel during our transport from Monteverde to Liberia airport. We had mentioned in passing that we were disappointed that we didn’t get to see any monkeys on our trip and he said that if he or his partner spotted one that he would stop for us to have a look. They did end up spotting one and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Also, he told us about the different areas we were passing through and was very kind and hospitable. It was a great way to end our trip. Thank you again for curating our experiences and vendors so wonderfully.

Everything was taken care of. We landed at San Jose and didn't have to think about anything for the rest of the trip. We had one hiccup in Manuel Antonio where we were not picked up for an excursion, but I used the contact information that Braunny gave me and it was resolved very quickly and we didn't miss the excursion. We really enjoyed having private shuttles to our destinations and having planned stops for meals and restrooms.

Pura Vida Adventure Together
We both love nature and hiking so Costa Rica is ideal for both of those. We went during what’s considered the rainy season so you need to be aware of that going in. It rained at some point almost every day we were there but we still had a very enjoyable time. We visited La Fortuna and Manuel Antonio. We enjoyed La Fortuna more. La Fortuna was more jungle whereas Manuel Antonio was more coastal and felt more touristy.
Dream Honeymoon Adventure in Costa Rica
Embark on a honeymoon that swaps city bustle for Costa Rica’s emerald rainforests and sun‑kissed beaches, where romance meets adventure in every sunrise. From Monteverde’s misty cloud forest trails to Arenal’s volcanic hot springs, then Playa Conchal’s Pacific surf and Damas Island’s mangrove kayak tours, you’ll hike, soak, and sail. Friendly local guides and vibrant community flavors will weave unforgettable memories, leaving you with a deeper connection to nature, Costa Rican warmth, and each other.
Costa Rica Off Season Adventure
We found Costa Rica to be really beautiful. I loved the flowering plants everywhere, but the wildlife is the main reason we went. We didn't see monkeys in every tree or even toucans up close, but we did see them from a distance. We also saw lots of colorful birds in the National Forests that we have never seen before.
Adventure Across Costa Rica's Wild Coast
The excursions and scenery are incredible.
