About Us

The special thing about us

Costa Rica Insider is a joint project of the two partners Ecoterra from Costa Rica and travel-to-nature from Germany. Travel-to-nature has been offering trips to Costa Rica for 25 years and Ecoterra has been around almost as long. In order to meet the increased demand for individual travel the idea was born to create “Costa Rica Insider” and thus offer worldwide guests a comprehensive platform for individual travel through beautiful Costa Rica.

Added value - Why travel with us?

Trust

When you invest your money in travel you want to be sure that you receive adequate services. Trust is what we stand for with our good reputation built up over 25 years. Travel-to-nature has been awarded several times by GEO Saison, the German Sustainability Award and other organizations.

Safety

Many of our day trips can be canceled free of charge until shortly before departure. Ecoterra has liability insurance and an excellent reputation in Costa Rica. All Ecoterra buses are checked and maintained. We also have baby seats in stock. Safety is paramount in our selection of activities and we are on site to check them over.

Best travel price guaranteed

You can book directly with us on site and save the intermediary fees that a tour operator would charge. This way we guarantee you the best price. In addition, we guarantee you a secure payment system.

Expertise

Costa Rica Insider knows its stuff. Our local partner agency Ecoterra organizes many of the activities themselves and knows their tours. The same is true for our modules which are subject to constant control by our local staff. Our consultants in Costa Rica are happy to design you a complete tailored trip according to your wishes and budget.

Sustainability

Travel-to-nature and Ecoterra are considered absolute pioneers in terms of sustainability in Costa Rica. In 1994 Paul Valenciano and Rainer Stoll were involved in the foundation of Ecocentro Danaus. Later they built together the La Tigra Rainforest Lodge which is one the most sustainable lodges in the world, and the reforestation project “Reserva Bosque La Tigra” which made it to the finals for a German Sustainability Award. We are specialized in the protection of animal and plant species and have this scientifically accompanied by the university in Costa Rica.
