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.

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.
Many of our day trips and shared shuttles 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.


You can book directly with Ecoterra in Costa Rica and avoid the additional fees charged by intermediaries. This allows us to offer you a competitive price. In addition, you can rest assured that your payment is processed securely.
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 packages 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.


Since 1994, travel-to-nature and Ecoterra have been committed to sustainability in Costa Rica: The founders Rainer Stoll and Paul Valenciano were involved in establishing the Ecocentro Danaus, and later worked together to build the La Tigra Rainforest Lodge and the reforestation project “Reserva Bosque La Tigra,” which made it to the finals of the German Sustainability Award. We specialize in protecting animal and plant species, with scientific oversight from independent biologists supported by the GIZ in Costa Rica.
We are an international team united by our love for travel and conservation. We look forward to assisting you in planning your dream trip to Costa Rica and providing you with unforgettable memories. Get to know the core team members:
