The team is passionate about sharing the customs, history, food, and traditions of Costa Rica with travelers from around the world. Their goal is to create authentic, immersive experiences that allow visitors to connect with the natural beauty and rich culture of the country. With a focus on sustainability and cultural immersion, MARO Experiences is the perfect choice for travelers looking to discover the magic of Costa Rica.

Deep Community Connections

Most of our providers if not all are provided by local entrepreneurs, small projects or rural communities. We believe that tourism can have a positive impact on communities sustainable growth.

Active Environmental Stewardship

We work with projects that do not disturb local wildlife in their experiences. We try to avoid National Parks, like Manuel Antonio because of the big impact mass tourism can have in natural areas. We support rural communities out of the beaten track.

Exceptional Quality and Authenticity

One of the main goals of rural tourism is that local communities can receive an extra income from sharing their daily lifestyle with travelers and in that way preserve their culture and traditions. Those are the experiences we are experts at and what we focus on.
