“It's a big challenge to get somebody who, and rightly so, is trying to enjoy their honeymoon or family vacation, to take time to think about nature, to think about the community. Some people may just be there to raft and zipline, to have a nice meal and a massage, to enjoy the hot springs and move to the beach. It’s a project of trying to get your guests first informed, second to raise enthusiasm, and hopefully that will lead to action.” We’re in great company with Mario Mikowski, Second

It’s barefoot luxury, nobody’s going to judge you.” We’re in great company with Harry Hartman and Mario Mikowski, good friends and great Owners of Nantipa, where they provide a sense of serene escapism and barefoot Costa Rican

“A normal day in the countryside starts with a local breakfast, then you can enjoy a tour of the farm where you understand from the vineyards to the final product, how we produce this product. You can go into the tasting room where you can try all the balsamic vinegar, then have lunch with traditional Emilian dishes with balsamic vinegar.
