Vicente Varela
Trip Designer
I was born and raised in Arenal, and after many years away, I made the decision to bring my family back from the city to my hometown. Arenal is a truly special place where nature, adventure, and one of its greatest treasures come together: some of the best hot springs in the world.
We are currently enjoying an excellent summer season in 2026, and the outlook for the coming months is very promising, with ideal conditions to go out and enjoy unforgettable experiences. My daughters, ages 13, 11, and 11, are already counting the days to get back to their favorite adventures such as ziplining, ATV rides, and white-water rafting.
Thanks to them, and to my wife, who is very active and passionate about outdoor activities, I have learned to plan trips through the eyes of those who travel together. This perspective allows me to design experiences that are not only exciting, but also safe, well-balanced, and truly enjoyable for everyone involved.

Vicente was professional, responsive, flawless in his recommendations, and great at following through with our travel plans. I HIGHLY recommend him. He helped us with 2 separate trips and both were excellent.

Big thanks to Vicente for helping us create our dream family vacation! From beginning to end, Vicente was in regular communication, receptive to our feedback for our travel lifestyle and needs (two high energy boys who loved adventure!), and crafted an unforgettable itinerary. All the excursions were exactly what we were looking for! Vicente was always friendly, enthusiastic, and professional. We made multiple transfers and stops along the way, but his detailed planning made it all seamless. I can't thank Vicente enough!

Vicente listen to my needs and concerns and was able to make adjustments based on them. He was great to inform us when tours got changed and ask if we wanted to continue w the new time or cancel it. He was very responsive to my questions on what's app and we would definitely request for his services again !
