Yahaira Quesada
Trip Designer
"After studying tourism in school for three years, I have worked as a travel professional for almost a decade. Hola! I'm Yahaira, and having worked for hotels, adventure companies, and travel agencies, I can easily say that what I like best about my job is that I get to help people create beautiful memories.
It's so nice to have people tell you that they had a great time in Costa Rica. I spend so much time getting to know the people I'm helping that some of my clients even come by the office to say, ""Hi!"" or ""Thank you!"" I've had clients return to Costa Rica several years in a row, and it's a treat to be able to work with them year after year — planning new adventures.
I live in La Fortuna and love nature, but I'm privileged to have visited many beautiful destinations in Costa Rica. My favorite parks are Chirripoó National Park, and Corcovado National Park. My family — which includes a very active son — loves getting outdoors, and my mother (a wonderful cook) and I usually meet once a week to make different meals. I can recommend some great cooking classes for you to learn how to make gallo pinto, olla de carne, and tamales — just like we do! We live 'Pura Vida,' and with the right vacation, you can too!"

What travelers have said
Each excursion was run by kinds and enthusiastic staff. The events were safe - this was important to our family as we have small children (7&9). The loved the horse back riding, zip lining and hiking as they saw so many tropical animals and insects.

A Thoroughly Relaxing Vacation
Everything came together without a hitch. Reservations were all made as requested and modified in a timely manner if requested. My wife wants to return with the whole family!
A Magical Adventure for Two
We visited the Arenal and the Tamarindo areas. Tourism appears to be the only industry that we saw. It is obvious that Costa Rica needs tourism to provide for its growth and environmental efforts. It is refreshing to have seen such little development in those areas. Our lower rating for "returning in the future" is because we typicall do not repeat vacations destinations.
A Vacation That Exceeded All Expectations
Unbelievable place to visit. Never visited a tropical place like that before but the people are very friendly and the food is top notch. Highly recommend to anyone.
Adventure-Filled Pura Vida for 3
YES! best tour guides and drivers. Coordination and very nice hotels for the most part. But the best are the staff especially if there is a problem. Available and always helpful. You have the best staff in the tour business! Would definitely use you for our next trip; maybe Belize. Muchas gracias
Together in Beautiful Costa Rica
Would highly recommend Anywhere to organise any trip. They were extremely helpful,friendly and prompt when answering any questions or emails. Always very flexible doing anything in their power to design a holiday itinerary that suits the individual. Our holiday pretty much went completely to plan, shuttle drivers always on time, and hotels recommended turned out to be above expectations! An amazing, adventure-filled holiday had, exploring lots of Costa Rica. Thanks a million!!
A Journey with My Besties
A trip for six can be hard to plan, especially when there are so many things you can do on a vacation in Costa Rica. However, Anywhere pulled it off perfectly! We had an amazing time!
We Chilled in Manuel Antonio
This is my second trip planned by Anywhere, and I have already told others the excellent job you have done. So glad I found a company who truly aims to please their customer. I just wish they went everywhere!
Paradise is Meant to Be Explored
