Hello Rhythm and Akshat!

Thank you so much for your interest in our services! Also, please thank your colleague for us for his very kind recommendation! 🙂

Our operation has changed quite a bit over the past few years as our work and popularity grew. Unfortunately we no longer offer direct, one-on-one vacation/itinerary planning services, but we can certainly help you in several other ways through our many Costa Rica-related projects! 🙂

Most recently (November 2019), we published the Costa Rica travel guidebook Moon Costa Rica (available in paperback and as an eBook) through the prestigious Moon Travel Guides. It’s available in bookstores across the US and Canada, as well as online around the world, and offers everything you might want in a vacation-planning resource, from itinerary suggestions to tour/activity details to transportation service recommendations and so much more. You can learn more about it (and where to buy it) on this page if you’re interested in using it to plan your upcoming Costa Rica trip: https://costaricatravelblog.com/moon-costa-rica-2019/

We also offer tons of Costa Rica trip-planning and travel articles on our blog, the Costa Rica Travel Blog, if you have some time and wish to sift through the content there: https://costaricatravelblog.com

For a one-time $5 (USD) fee, we disclose our favorite things about Costa Rica on our membership website, DIY Costa Rica: https://diycostarica.com Though we tend to remain impartial when writing for our blog, DIY Costa Rica is our “best of” Costa Rica compilation. It skips right to the very best things that we feel Costa Rica has to offer.

As a side note, we’re currently running a promotion that links our Moon Costa Rica travel guidebook to our DIY Costa Rica membership website. Anyone who purchases either the paperback or eBook version of Moon Costa Rica will receive a free membership (365 days) to DIY Costa Rica. More information about this promotion is available here: https://costaricatravelblog.com/moon-costa-rica-2019-and-diy-costa-rica-promo/

Lastly but certainly not least, our business operation (Pura Vida! eh? Inc.) still provides awesome discounts for Costa Rica day tours, excursions, and activities. I’m not sure which items your colleague reserved through us previously, but we still handle booking requests for day tours, such as white-water rafting tours, hanging bridge tours, canopy zip-lining tours, etc. The requests are handled through this website (https://puravidaeh.ca) and still provide awesome discounted rates. You can browse through our Tour Discount Database by using the menu at the top of this page (tour discounts can be filtered by activity type, location in Costa Rica, or tour operator name). Once you’ve decided which activities you want to participate in during your trip, be sure to place an order for them through this website so you’ll only pay the tour operators our discounted tour rates instead of their original, higher tour rates.

As a side note, though we don’t book Costa Rican hotels, shuttle services, and car rentals on behalf of travelers, we do offer free discount codes to travelers for these items so you can save more money on them when you book them direct through hotels, shuttle service providers, and car rental agencies. Our free discount codes for these items can be found on this page on our blog: https://costaricatravelblog.com/free-costa-rica-discount-codes/

Pura vida! 🙂
