About Us

Viva Adventures is a boutique Costa Rica Destination Management Company (DMC) and Global Tour Operator. Proudly owned and operated by a crew of independent, international, travel-obsessed women, we have been in this industry for more decades than we would care to admit. We love travel with a deep passion and are stoked to be able to share our favorite places in the world in a tangible way.

We believe that by having transformational experiences outside of our home countries, something important is opened up and awakened within us. This energy and slew of new experiences has the ability to make us better, more connected, and more empathetic human beings.

Our trips are customizable, but most share these features: connection to local people & culture, meaningful & adventurous experiences in nature, opportunities to view beautiful historical or natural sights, and one of our favorites: delicious food & drink.
