About Mytanfeet
Your Costa Rica travel blog and local booking team
Mytanfeet began as a Costa Rica travel blog and has grown into a local boutique travel agency, bringing together firsthand travel information, online booking and personal support from our Costa Rican team.
Sharing useful information remains our first priority, and when you are ready to book, that same team helps arrange your experiences and stays in close contact with our local partners.

Why we write
Good information comes first
Our mission is to make Costa Rica easier to understand, whether you are planning your first visit or coming back to see somewhere new.
There is no single way to enjoy Costa Rica, so we want our information to leave room for different interests, budgets and travel styles, helping you choose the places and experiences that feel right for you and the people traveling with you.
We want our readers to find clear answers about destinations, travel routes, activities and everyday details, with enough context to decide what works for them.
Costa Rica is our home, and we bring our connection to its communities, our own travels and our relationships with local partners to the information we share.
You are welcome here whether you book through us or arrange everything yourself, and we value the trust you place in our information.
A useful guide should help you picture your own trip, including the travel time between places, the experience you are hoping for and the details that might otherwise be easy to miss.
We care about helping you make the most of your time and money, and that begins with information you can use to make your own decisions.
How we began
Two people and one blog post
Mytanfeet began with just the two of us, Yeison and Samantha, and one blog post about Costa Rica.
Yeison was born and raised in Costa Rica, and Samantha, who moved from the United States in 2012, is now a Costa Rican citizen too.
We started by sharing what we experienced, from places we visited to the small details that could make someone else’s trip easier.
As more readers found us and asked for help, the blog grew into a local team and a travel consulting agency, with the same purpose at its center.
Our team is growing, but Mytanfeet remains a Costa Rica travel blog first, built around the people who read it and the country we love.
The questions our readers bring us are an important part of that relationship, reminding us what can feel unfamiliar when someone is preparing to visit Costa Rica for the first time.
The people behind Mytanfeet
A growing team at home in Costa Rica
Every person on our team is Costa Rican, including Yeison and Samantha, and each of us brings our own perspective and care to Mytanfeet.
Our work brings together the people answering your questions, coordinating with local businesses and helping your plans come together, with a shared commitment to the country we call home.
We are proud of what we do together, and we want you to feel that there are real people here who care about your time in Costa Rica.
For us, a conversation about your trip is also a chance to share a little of our home, listen to what matters to you and help you feel comfortable asking questions.
We hope that personal connection stays with you beyond the planning stage, whether it is a useful detail from an article, an answer that makes a decision easier or an experience that becomes a favorite memory of Costa Rica.
Our local partners
We know the people we work with
We work closely with tour operators, guides, transport providers and hotels in Costa Rica, building relationships that let us ask questions and resolve details directly.
We have direct contact with the managers and owners of our partner businesses, so when a question needs their attention, we know who to call.
Every service you book through Mytanfeet includes our dedicated customer support, with personal attention from our team and close communication with the partners looking after your experience.
Being close to the people providing an experience helps us understand the practical details and follow up personally when something needs clarification, from a meeting point to what is included.
Those relationships also help us arrange reader benefits and special offers, while keeping the focus on an experience that is right for you.
Looking after our home
Your trip supports local people
Our work supports Costa Rican jobs and local businesses, and booking with us helps keep more of the value of your trip in the communities you visit.
We want tourism to be good for the people who live here as well as the people who visit, with thoughtful experiences that give travelers a reason to return and local communities a reason to welcome them.
Choosing a local company is one way to keep tourism spending connected to Costa Rican livelihoods, supporting the people who answer your questions, guide your experiences and welcome you into their communities.
We want our business to succeed alongside our partners, with fair working relationships that help local operators provide excellent experiences and build sustainable businesses.
For us, value means a rewarding trip for you and a healthy future for the people providing it, so we look beyond a single booking to relationships that can last for years.
Responsible businesses
We work with providers who carry the insurance and permits their activities require and meet their tax obligations.
Respect for people
We value partners who treat their employees well and take pride in welcoming visitors to their communities.
Care for Costa Rica
We support good environmental practices because the forests, wildlife, beaches and communities you come to see are part of our everyday lives.
Before you get in touch
A few common questions
If there is something else you would like to know, ask our team and we will help you find the information you need.
Can I use your guides without booking?
Yes, our articles and planning guides are free to read whether you book through us or make your own arrangements.
Who will answer my questions?
Our Costa Rican team handles your questions and works directly with our partners when your plans need specific information from an operator.
What happens after I request a tour?
Our team follows up by email to review availability and the details needed to complete your booking, so submitting a request does not by itself confirm a reservation.
Where can I find your destination eBooks?
Our destination eBooks bring together detailed local information, and our free introductory guide is a useful place to start if you are still getting to know Costa Rica.
When you are ready

Begin with our travel guides, take your time exploring and come back whenever another question comes up.
