From the finding the simplest of items such as a piece of handmade chocolate or a cutting board filled with locally sourced vegetables, to unique experiences such as seeing monkeys off into the distance, or talking to local families and flicking through their family photo albums, San Jose Urban Adventures are here to show you the real Costa Rica.
View our interactive map of ways our travellers have supported local communities. Every tour has a story to tell. Not just the story of the city, but the story of the people who call it home. And about seeing the world in a whole new way. This collection of tours is run in conjunction with local NGOs, non-profits and accelerators around the globe. We've worked with these groups on the ground to develop experiences that show travellers what their projects are about and how they're giving back to the community.
More about In Focus Program. Travelling with us means you help local economies blossom. Local sourcing is a principle across all our tour. We use locally owned infrastructure and work with locally owned businesses to make sure the money you spend on travel is injected back into the local economy, and that profits from tourism go into local hands. For example, our food tours are designed to promote local dishes and local ingredients, with market-to-table experiences, cooking workshops and discussions about food and culture.
We will also take you to local markets, and to meet farmers and shop owners. As such, we help you to shop in a sustainable way and buy amazing souvenirs while also supporting local entrepreneurs.
Making sure you have the Best. However, we would never compromise the needs of local communities to meet the needs of international visitors.
