Matt in His Own Words

After years of coming to visit Costa Rica, I finally moved here in May of 2021. I've lived in many places in the world from Alaska, to Montana, Fiji, and Oregon, and there was something magical about Costa Rica that lured me here. 

 

I've traveled all over Costa Rica and I love the people here, the landscapes, the wildlife, and the vast beaches and ocean. It simply is special. I love sharing my knowledge and passion for this country with my clients. Help them plan amazing experiences here that will last for the rest of their lives!  ~Pura Vida

Toucans of Costa Rica

Spotting vibrant toucans is a dream for any Costa Rica traveler, and with six species in our country, a lucky sighting can happen just about anywhere! Renowned for their long and colorful bills, they are impossible to overlook…

 


 

 

Can't decide which was better: rainforest or ocean!

Review of Costa Rican Vacations

 

Reviewed June 2023 by Brooke C.

 

Matthew Briscoe and the travel team were exceptional. Matt took the time to listen to what we wanted on our 2 week trip and accommodated our whole family so everyone got what they wanted. We wanted an experience that was local, quiet and fun and we got all three!

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
