Gema Cantillano
Trip Designer
Hola! I'm Gema, and I've been a part of Anywhere Costa Rica since 2006 — I've been involved in the Tourism Industry over a decade.
As a reliable and passionate person, I love planning trips to our beautiful country. It means I not only have the opportunity to educate travelers about all of the options they have but, also help them experience the best of Costa Rica. One of my favorite destinations is Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula — it is a unique place on the South Pacific Coast that everyone should see at least once (exuberant rainforest, wildlife, and a peaceful environment).
I'm so passionate about travel that I've even managed to put my professional skills to use outside of Anywhere by coordinating volunteer service for young travelers — an independent initiative to contribute to community growth and development. The community service is 'ad honorem;' the primary goal is to create a positive impact through small changes.
Working at Anywhere has been a great journey. Come and visit us, I'd love to help you experience the warmth of our people, and get immersed into the local culture.

What travelers have said
Gema was awesome! Our holiday experience was amazing and worry free due to Gema's excellent coordination with the drivers. She displayed great patients and understanding when I expressed concerns regarding our financial budget.

Gema is outstanding. She has done two trips across CR and each has been outstanding. We've stayed in luxury hotels in giant room room and fine restararaunt, jungle lodges, a vintage country hotel that even had farm animals (but only outside of sleeping hours). THe guides and transports were superior,, she is very kind and trusted completely. She has a vast knowledge and networrk that has made our CR travels outstanding. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Gema- there are not enough good things I can say about her and her peer Harold. They were so communicative and planned the perfect activities for my family. They even helped make photographer recommendations for family photos. Two days prior to our trip we had the itch to go a day sooner. They made it happen along with the activity we wanted to add! Gema and Harold checked in throughout our trip via text which was greatly appreciated.

We had the best trip to Costa Rica. Gema took care of everything and made the trip seamless. She was open to any changes to the itinerary that we wanted, and was a prompt and efficient communicator. It was so nice having all of our accommodations booked, and they were some of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The most incredible part was having all of our transfers taken care of – this took so much stress out of planning and being on a trip. When we landed, Gema reached out via Whatsapp, which was really reassuring to know we always had a contact. 10 out of 10 on service from Gema!
