About us
Get to know us
Bella Aventura is an English-speaking destination agency based in Heredia, in the heart of Costa Rica. Thanks to the office’s strategically convenient location, travellers can receive reliable on-site support—whether through advice, organisation, or assistance throughout the entire trip.
Bella Aventura was founded in 2009 by an Austrian-Costa Rican family with extensive experience in tourism and an in-depth knowledge of the country in all its facets. This expertise is complemented by an international team of dedicated travel planners. Together, they create creative and flexible itineraries that not only impress but are also enriched with valuable, practical tips.
As a local tour operator, Bella Aventura specialises in tailor-made individual trips. Every itinerary is carefully planned by experienced professionals and precisely tailored to the customer’s wishes, always at fair prices. Each inquiry receives a personal and high-quality response. Customer satisfaction is the top priority, which is why excellent customer service comes first.

We (3 Germans of ages 41, 45 and 71) had them plan a 3 week's trip through basically the whole of Costa Rica. All our accomodations and a lot of tours were selected by them and booked in advance. We drove most of the way on our own in a 4x4 rental car. Our trip was very well thought through, flawlessly planned and adapted to our wishes in a well guided conversation in the planning phase. During the trip we had all required descriptions, navigational guide etc. very handily available in an app provided by them. They were always available for us for any question, advice during the whole journey. We definitely recommend them and would have them plan another trip anytime again.Gepostet auf takwa ferchichiTrustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist.

Eine tolle Rundreise durch Costa Rica und von Evaneos / Bella Aventura sehr gut durchgeplant. Von den Transfers bis zu den Unterkünften alles super.Gepostet auf Conrad v.M.Trustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist. Wir waren im März-April 2025 während drei Wochen als Familie zu viert (mit 8- und 10-jährigen Kindern) unterwegs in Costa Rica und haben die Reise über Bella Aventura gebucht. Dabei waren wir hauptsächlich mit Veronika in Kontakt. Es hat alles reibungslos geklappt und Veronika und ihr Team haben unseren Geschmack getroffen und auch während der Reise nachgefragt, ob alles ok sei. Der von uns gewünschte Wechsel auf einen grösseren Mietwagen wurde von Bella Aventura ebenfalls reibungslos organisiert. Wir würden wieder mit Bella Aventura reisen.Gepostet auf Michael HartungTrustindex überprüft, ob die Originalquelle der Bewertung Google ist.
