Today, we\u2019re delighted to talk to Aaron Dakar, Managing Director and trip designer extraordinaire for Costa Rica Experts<\/a>. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Aaron for almost a decade now as he personally has designed more than 100 trips for our clients headed to Costa Rica. And each trip seems to be better than the last!<\/p>\n

Based on your interests, he custom designs itineraries and never ceases to surprise us with new resorts and exhilarating activities. In this episode, Aaron discusses how Costa Rica has fared during the pandemic and why the country continues to be a popular destination. You\u2019ll want to watch to the very end, when Aaron discloses his favorite new lodging picks and little-known places to visit in this gorgeous and topographically diverse country.
