Who is Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel?
Hello!
We are Yeison and Samantha, the couple behind Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel. We are a married couple living in Costa Rica full time.
Yeison (pronounced like Jason) is Costa Rican, born and raised.
Samantha moved to Costa Rica in 2012 from the United States.
We have been traveling together in Costa Rica since 2010 and love sharing our stories, tips and experiences on Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel.
We loved it so much, that Mytanfeet became an official travel consultation and booking agency, so that we can further assist our readers with their Costa Rica vacation.
About Mytanfeet Costa Rica Travel

What Sets Up Apart From Other Costa Rica Blogs and Agencies
There are a lot of travel agents, agencies and blogs about Costa Rica and some of them have good information, some don’t.
But something most don’t have is the year round local perspective since they are all mostly written by foreigners who visited Costa Rica once in awhile, or some are here temporarily.
We live in Costa Rica year round and are constantly traveling around the country to update our content to bring you the latest information, as much as possible.
Something else we are proud to provide is premiere customer service when readers book their travel services through us. We respond to booking inquiries within 24 hours and are more than happy to help negotiate rates, provide on the ground assistance and offer our personal recommendations to our readers.
Mytanfeet is a registered Costa Rican travel consulting company based in Guanacaste. Mytanfeet LLC is registered with the State of Florida as a Seller of Travel, Registration NO. ST44660.

Hi guys,
Thanks so much for all the great information. My family and I are arriving on Dec 31/16. We have friends that live in Panama and just wondering what the best way would be to travel into Panama….would it be ok to rent a car or would you recommend a different way?
Thank you
Kim

Hello, I would recommend you to either flight or take the bus, you can’t cross borders with car rentals.
James Terry says
I’ve been a regular reader of your blog since I discover it at Matthew Woodward’s personal marketing blog. You guys are still pushing high-quality content. I’m a big fan. Keep it up!
Sammi says
Thank you James! We work hard to keep the quality up ๐

Hi, It’s kind of along drive and all depends if you find any traffic, usually it takes around 4 to 5 hours. The dreams Las Mareas resort is there, if you are thinking about renting a car you can check our deals here: Costa Rica car rental discount
Anne says
We are traveling to the Dreams Las Mareas on Thursday..I need some warm and sun!! We want to rent a car at the airport…why pay for transfers, right? What do you think the travel time is from Liberia to Las Mareas? Is the gps from the adobe rental company up to date? can we switch the language to English? This blog is wonderful!! We cannot wait to experience Costa Rica..

Hello! AWESOME website, thank you for taking the time to chronicle your exploits. ๐ So a friend and I are traveling to a resort near El Jobo Beach and sadly purchased flights into San Jose. We’re trying to decide between renting a vehicle or taking the resort’s suggested shuttle. I read some travel time estimates but they were dated a while back. As of 2016, what is the travel time via car between San Jose and El Jobo?
Thanks super much in advance and keep having fun!!! ๐
Karen says
Do you think it’s possible to find a local to drive us around Arenal for a day?
Sammi says
I recommend hiring a driver from a tour/transportation company, all the drivers are Costa Ricans and they’ll have insurance.
Robert says
Haven’t seen much of your website yet but just wanted to let you know: What a great and inspiring story Sam and Yeiso! One day, you had the feeling something needed to change, and you followed it. It needs courage and persistence. Respect! I’ll be happy to read on.
All the best,
Robert
Sammi says
Thank you Robert!
Gregg says
Sammi I understand completely about your being unable to decide about med-school, optometry school or nursing school. I spent most of my time trying to figure out how I could graduate as an undeclared major. That not being possible went for the one that didn’t require any math.
You sound like a great couple and I wish you the very best
Gregg
Sammi says
It is difficult especially when you don’t feel particularly passionate towards one over another. And yes, that is hard since they all require math! Thanks for reading Gregg ๐

Hi Karla! We have, here is our guide: Catarata Llanos de Cortes (and how funny we were just there yesterday and you saw the post on FB!) We always go on our own because it’s the best way to visit and have it all to yourself! If you go on a tour they’ll go around mid morning when ALL the other tours stop by there and everyone else does too.
Karla says
Hi! I am so excited to read through your site and all about your story. Thank you for your details about driving in Costa Rica. I will be traveling in late August with family and we hope to rent a car and get away. I’ve downloaded your free ebook and hope to book a car through Adobe! SO EXCITED. Have you been to llantos de cortez? If so have you gone on your own?
