Meet the Guides Who Bring Central America to Life

Small-group travel led by experts who know the region’s culture, history and hidden corners better than anyone.

At Puraventura, your guide is the heart of your journey. Our small groups of no more than 12 travellers are led by experienced specialists who combine deep cultural knowledge with genuine hospitality. Many have lived in the region for decades and are passionate about sharing insights that most visitors never hear.

Puraventura is different

At Puraventura, we leave room for improvisation, which means that we want our guides to bring their own personal touch to the tours and show you how they see the REAL Central America.

Whatever your guide's passion or specific knowledge, they will be happy to share it with you, stay by your side during the incredible experience that is a trip to Central America, answer all your (probably numerous!) questions about the strange and different things you will discover, and make sure you get the most out of your adventure in Central America.

What our travellers think

We really appreciated the balance between tourist sites and stays with local hosts. Everything was great, especially the visits to the farms and the demonstrations of raw sugar and cocoa paste production, Tortuguero, Zapotal and Betty, the canoe trip to reach the Bribri community, and the glamping stay… An amazing and magical trip! And we always ate well! (Jeanne G. - March 2025)
