A family owned and operated business in a rural part of the Central Valley, of Costa Rica, where the air is fresh and the mountains verdant and gently sloped. In 2003 CR~I was started to accommodate the needs of the students and volunteers participating with programs through Amistad Institute (AICR, a Spanish School and Volunteer Agency [of which we are also partners] ) . AICR was started in 2001 and really took off by '05. Now in the beginnings of '09 we have decided to take our constantly growing list of contacts, tours, and knowledge concerning travel in Costa Rica, and turn it into a new, exciting, and more focused entity, to reflect our values and ideas about traveling. So here we are moving forward into this unique sphere of activity.

As a team & company, we have a unique understanding of our little country. A large part of this is due to our U.S. and Costa Rican heritage. The idea is to have the best of both worlds... The attitude of the Latitude, without sacrificing the ability keep things on schedule. We are also firm believers that you needn't sacrifice quality to get a bargain, and the key lay in our expectations of how we want our experiences to unfold. So weather you are sailing the stratosphere of luxury resorts, cruising just above the earth with the everyday people of the land, or something in between, we are there to help make your visit shine.
