About

My name is Karla and I am a nature lover who loves her homeland. I was born in Cartago, Costa Rica, the first capital of the country. Some years ago I decided to study tourism because I wanted to share the beauty of my country and its incredible culture with other people who can fall in love with this land.

I really enjoy yoga, hiking, and going to the beach. Actually, my favorite beach is Puerto Viejo, located in the South Caribbean. I love the culture, food, music, and especially the crystal clear water.

I am also an animal lover and I have a little puppy for a pet. But my favorite animal is the sloth, I think sloths are so funny and cute! In fact, Costa Rica has many rescue centers and rehabilitation facilities for the sloth, and it even become a national symbol for the country a few months ago. I am so proud that my country is a leader in wildlife and nature preservation.

I have lived all my life here in Cartago and I consider myself an expert in the region. I really enjoy talking about and showing visitors around this beautiful province, its volcanos, rural areas, and incredible people.

Also, I mentioned that I am a beach lover, and I consider myself a specialist in beach locations and activities. I love to give beach suggestions!

Karla's best travel experience

When I was at university, I had the opportunity to visit Corcovado National Park. I was astounded by all the incredible nature and biodiversity. I even saw a baby tapir with its mother — it was the cutest moment. On the same trip, I did many activities like rappelling and snorkeling, where I also had the opportunity to discover the richness of our seas, it was amazing!

Why is Karla the right travel expert

I have almost 6 years of experience working in tourism, and every day I still really feel lucky to be able to explore my country and share it with others.

I am a friendly person who likes helping others and I really enjoy designing programs and proposals for people who want to explore this amazing piece of land called Costa Rica. I can't wait to help you make a trip here one of the best experiences of your life!
