Destination Management Company (DMC) Costa Rica
Incoming Agency Travel Excellence
Once upon a time Columbus was looking for precious metal, but all he found in Costa Rica was pure nature: birds of paradise, mangrove swamps, mountain ranges and volcanoes, damp rain forests and coral reefs. Columbus might have been a little bit disappointed, people today however have learned to appreciate natural values. And this is certainly one of the reasons why 30% of the country’s surface is protected by environmental legislation.
The founders of our partner incoming agency Costa Rica, the DMC Travel Excellence, show their guests how to live a life according to the maxime “pura vida, pura natura”. Rafting, sky walking, diving, deep-sea fishing are only a few of the possible activities on the agenda. Supported by Travel Excellence, individual travellers and groups (meetings, incentives, conferences, events) have the opportunity of discovering a country that is still an insider tip.
