Nature Ways Travel is the culmination of our shared love for Costa Rica and its diverse wonders.

As a small business founded by a brother and sister who have traveled their whole lives, together and separately, we’ve been to the tourist attractions - but know how to find the hidden gems. With this knowledge of traveling, we are able to create the best travel experience for each client through a unique blend of experiences, perspectives, and a deep connection to this beautiful country.

OUR STORY

From childhood explorations to full-time residence, we've made Costa Rica our home, and Nature Ways Travel is our way of inviting you to discover the enchanting landscapes, vibrant cultures, and authentic experiences that make this destination truly extraordinary.

OUR INSPIRATION

Our inspiration stems from a lifetime of exploration, cultural immersion, and a profound appreciation for the natural beauty of Costa Rica. Together, we felt compelled to share the magic of Costa Rica, creating a travel agency that goes beyond conventional tours, providing authentic and unforgettable experiences.

OUR MISSION

Nature Ways Travel is on a mission to curate exceptional and sustainable travel experiences that showcase the true essence of Costa Rica. Our aim is to foster a deep connection between travelers and the enchanting landscapes, vibrant communities, and rich traditions of this extraordinary destination.

“I’ve found my soul community in Costa Rica, spending time cultivating relationships with locals, expats, and others who share a deep love for this incredible country.” - Carlena, Co- Founder

There’s a unique spiritual magnetism to Costa Rica that draws people in, uniting everyone through a shared appreciation for the land and its culture. When we plan trips at Nature Ways Travel, we aim to share that feeling of belonging with our clients. We personalize each trip by connecting travelers with the heart of the community whether it’s through staying at boutique eco-friendly hotels, supporting local artisans, or engaging in meaningful environmental activities like beach cleanups. Our goal is for clients to experience Costa Rica not just as tourists, but as if they are part of the community, embracing the same love and connection that make this place feel like home to me

We believe in creating meaningful connections between travelers and the diverse cultures of Costa Rica, providing opportunities for authentic interactions.

We are dedicated to offering genuine and immersive experiences that go beyond the ordinary, allowing travelers to witness the true beauty and cultural richness of Costa Rica.

Our Sustainability efforts are not limited to the wilderness and anti-pollution, we strive to preserve Costa Rica’s diverse and charming culture while promoting sustainable and equitable development.
