Who we are
A local team, a local perspective
A Costa Rica-based travel company designing experiences for independent travelers and agents who want more than a standard package.
Our story
We are a local, family-owned and operated business — close-knit and passionate about what we do, with over 25 years of experience in Costa Rica.
Our story began with a father and mother who built something worth continuing. Today, their four children carry that legacy forward, working together to offer travelers lifetime experiences in this beautiful country.
We provide a safe, convenient, and flexible way to travel anywhere within Costa Rica — always staying close to your interests and your budget.
What we stand for
Local first
We are Costa Rican. Our team lives and works here — we know the roads, the seasons, the hidden spots, and the best local operators.
Transparent
No hidden fees, no surprises. We tell you exactly what is included, what is not, and what to expect.
Personal
Every trip is different. We listen, we adapt, and we build itineraries around your interests — not around what is easiest for us.
Responsible
We work with operators who share our commitment to environmental and social responsibility in Costa Rica.
The people behind Faro Travel
Faro Travel is run by a small, dedicated team of Costa Rican travel professionals. We are not a call center or a booking platform — we are people who live here, know this country deeply, and care about every trip we help plan.
From the first inquiry to the last transfer, you work directly with us. We know the roads, the seasons, the operators we trust, and the details that make a trip genuinely memorable. Official team profiles are coming soon.
