About Me

Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica
Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica

As a Custom Costa Rica Travel Specialist, I create personalized journeys that go far beyond a typical vacation. With over 20 years in the airline industry and my current role as a bilingual flight attendant, travel isn’t just what I do — it’s how I live.  My career has taken me across the globe, giving me a deep understanding of what makes a trip not only seamless, but truly memorable.

Costa Rica holds a special place for me. Having spent significant time in San José and Manuel Antonio, I offer firsthand insight into both the vibrant energy of the capital and the relaxed, wildlife-rich beauty of the coast. I know the rhythm of the city, the hidden gems, and the little details that can elevate a stay. On the coast, I’ve experienced the magic of waking up to howler monkeys, spotting sloths in the trees, and watching unforgettable sunsets over the Pacific. From lush rainforests and volcanoes to pristine beaches and incredible biodiversity, I design experiences that genuinely connect you to the heart of the destination.

Whether you’re planning a luxury escape, a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or an adventure-filled itinerary, I take care of every detail so you can enjoy the journey stress-free. I work closely with trusted local partners, boutique hotels, and expert guides to ensure a seamless experience from arrival to departure. My bilingual skills also help create smoother, more authentic interactions, allowing you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your trip.

What sets me apart is my hands-on knowledge, attention to detail, and proactive approach. I don’t just plan trips—I anticipate needs, navigate logistics effortlessly, and provide insider recommendations that elevate your entire experience. My background in aviation has trained me to adapt quickly, think ahead, and prioritize safety, comfort, and efficiency at every step.

My goal is simple: to turn your vision of Costa Rica into an unforgettable, personalized experience—one that feels effortless, meaningful, and uniquely yours. Because Costa Rica isn’t just a place you visit—it’s a place you truly experience.

Panama First Time
Reviewed By tatyvar31 - Lima, Peru | Traveled to Panama City | Panama | Central America
Jairo is a total game-changer! He planned an unforgettable 6-day trip to Panama for us, and as a first-timer, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to such a beautiful country. He did all the work for me and everything was handled so smoothly that I didn’t have a single moment of stress - especially traveling from Peru. I was amazed by how much we were able to see and experience thanks to his guidance and planning. And I was able to get a lot of nice duty-free shopping done! Jairo is absolutely the person to contact if you want a smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable journey. Many thanks - muchas gracias por tu ayuda -Tati

Panama Girls Trip
Reviewed By yaninavar - Tampa, FL | Traveled to Panama City | Panama | Central America
I had a super experience working with Jairo for our 6-day girls trip to Panama City and the Panama Canal! He took care of our flights, hotel, tours, and airport transfers, and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. This was such a fun shopping getaway, and Jairo made it completely stress-free for my sister and I. The hotel and location was excellent, the tours were wonderful, and visiting the Panama Canal was unforgettable. Every detail was smooth and easy, which let us fully enjoy our vacation. Jairo was always kind, professional, and very attentive with us. He made us feel confident and cared for during the whole process. He was always available to communicate with should any roadblocks occur or changes need to be made. I highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip and I will definitely book with him again!
I would recommend this agent to my family and friends.
