Our story
Vibralma Travel is first and foremost the story of a meeting between Elodie and Lucas, dating back to 2016. At the time, Elodie was organizing tours and helping French-speaking travelers prepare their trips to Central America, mainly Costa Rica. Lucas, on the other hand, was at the beginning of his career as a naturalist guide specializing in Costa Rica's wildlife and flora. For many years, Elodie and Lucas worked together for a German tour operator. Both share a deep passion for Costa Rica, its people and the values of responsible tourism.
In August 2023, during a visit to Samara, a charming village on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, Elodie and her partner Guillaume met with Lucas, who had become a freelance expert naturalist guide. Lucas shared with his two friends that he had reached his work capacity limit and was eager to expand his business. It was at this very moment that the idea of building a common project between Elodie, Lucas and Guillaume was born, combining their skills and areas of expertise.
After several months of research, investigation and a strong will to work together, Vibralma Travel came to life, with the mission of introducing travelers to the natural beauty of Costa Rica and the richness of local experiences, while respecting sustainable tourism principles.
« Vibralma » is a combination of the Spanish words « vibrar » (to vibrate) and « alma » (soul), capturing the essence of a trip to Costa Rica: an emotional journey through the heart of a unique and exceptional biodiversity.

The QUALITY of our services
At Vibralma Travel, we are committed to make your trip a unique and unforgettable experience by offering high-quality services carefully selected and based on your expectations and needs. Our services are offered at a fair price and include an expert guide for a complete immersion.
We guarantee total transparency before your booking: accommodations and meals, on-site transportation, entrance fees to national parks and other activities, everything is clearly detailed to avoid unpleasant surprises on site.
For us, quality service also means paying attention to detail. For example, taking a canoe ride on the Tortuguero canals at dawn to observe nature awakening, being among the first to enter national parks when they open to immerse yourself in these natural sanctuaries, or stopping along the way at a local farmer's house to taste the flavors of exotic fruits - these are just some of the touches that will make your trip exceptional.
Costa Rica is a destination to discover at least once in your life and we want that time to be memorable.
