Testimonials from our Guests

"During our trip to Buenaventura, Harlow showed us an amazing time in Costa Rica. From horseback riding through the rainforest, living like locals on a rural organic farm, and hiking to some of the most pristine beaches, waterfalls and streams in the world, there was never a dull moment. If you have an adventurous spirit and want to see the real Costa Rica, I highly recommend exploring it on one of Harlow's personal tours of Costa Rica."
~ Matthew (Hitch) McDermid, SF

"Our stay at Buenaventura was the highlight of our 2 1/2 weeks of Costa Rica. Harlow, Tamara and Gerardo and their family are fabulous hosts who work hard to make sure you are relaxed, feel at home and are well fed and cared for! For a family from a city this was country living at it's best.

Seeing our kids milk cows, eat star fruit off trees, ride horses, play soccer with Tamara's kids, grind corn for tortillas and float down a pure mountain stream and jump in big swimming holes and waterfalls was GREAT. Almost a year later our children are still talking about it. Our 3 1/2 year old often packs up a little bag and when you ask where she is going she says Costa Rica with a huge smile on her face and says she is now chuleta girl thanks to the farm :)!"
