Why we travel with Anywhere
[IMG: 5 Starts]
Nothing short of magical - Pura Vida!Our family experience in Costa Rica with Anywhere was spectacular! Vicente created an itinerary that was perfect for our travel needs and wish list (including entertaining two high energy boys that wanted to do all the ziplining, rappeling, surfing, hiking, rafting... yet relax in Costa Rica's scenic landscape and see animals). All the hotels and excursions recommended by Anywhere were high quality with excellent guides. The multiple transfers were seamless and exactly as detailed. Vincente's communication was quick, professional, and enthusiastic. Moreover, he continued communication throughout the trip so even with little planning on my part, I felt really in tune with the schedule/plan for the day. Hands down, one of our family's favourite vacations!Selena AuGreat time at Costa RicaI was on timecrunch as this was last minute vacation plan and talking to my friend my best bet was to go with Anywhere.com. So i connected with Anwhere.com costa rica local expert Braunny who was fantastic and very responsive. He worked with me tirelessly and created a very good plan finishing the hotel bookings first, followed by transportation and activities in Monteverde, Manuel Antonio. In summary we had a great time thanks to Braunny. The only leg we did not like was San Jose [ 1 day]. As expected of cities it was not clean and we did not feel safe while staying close to central market area [lot of homeless people]. If i had to redesign, i would have stayed 1 more day at Arenal. The only other feedback is activities are very expensive.MuthuGreat experienceTere was amazing and helped us curate a very nice Guatemalan vacation. She was patient, understood our needs and was flexible in adjusting and recommending what would be good for us. Her suggestions were spot on and added to a positive experience. Thank you Tere.Neeraj MahajanThe Anywhere team are great partners in your next vacation adventure!The Anywhere team are great partners in setting up your vacation adventure. Very easy to work with and you will love the overall experience and your vacation time. Let's start with the staff - Thanks Cesar for your help in setting up the trip. We had a wonderful time and much of it was because of your work in customizing our experience. We highly recommend Cesar for anyone who wants an enjoyable and memorable vacation experience. Thanks again Cesar - talk to you soon for another trip. I'll just reiterate - The entire team are great in helping you customize your adventure. In each city that we visited throughout our trip, there were established local contacts who were always available and very responsive to our questions or needs. Anywhere is an amazing company - I recommend them highly, and they know I will turn to them again next year for another fun and memorable vacation experience.Michael GFantastic Family VacationBraunny planned an incredible trip for us, and was available to us when we were on our trip and needed to change a few things as we went. Anywhere Costa Rica was very easy to work with, I simply told them the length of our trip, a price range, and what we were interested in, and they did the rest! My kids, aged 9 and 5, said this was the best trip ever and can’t wait to come back!Megan SUse them for your next trip!I am so happy I found this travel agency to help me plan my honeymoon to Costa Rica! Braunny was our agent and he was so hands on we revised the trip twice after I had done some research on a couple things and he said as very helpful with what he suggested we keep and what we could do without. I will say his first suggestion didn’t really make sense to me geographically it had us in the car up to 6 hours between cities and zipping from one side of the country to the next. After I became more familiar with the map of the country I expressed we didn’t want to do that and he helped me come up with an itinerary that never had us in the car for more than 4 hours. We flew into San Jose and drove straight to Manuel Antonio. Wow this city was so gorgeous it’s a rainforest that comes right up to the beach so the best of both worlds. The resort we stayed at was amazing and was all suggested by braunny. We then drove to La fortuna and stayed at another great resort with natural hot springs. We ended a few hours north in playa conchal and then flew out of Liberia. I think this was such a good itinerary and I couldn’t have planned it on my own. We also were able to what’s app the company at any time on the trip if we had questions but we never needed to. Every excursion and transportation they planned for us was perfect they all had great service and picked us up on time we couldn’t have been happier! I would use this company again for sure!JennyBook with anywhere!They provided excellent guides, hotels, excursions, advice. We were in HoiAn/Hue Vietnam during record breaking flooding and they got us relocated and new flights so quickly that it was completely stress-free. We were taken for supper and even received gifts from the coordinator! This is the second time I’ve used this company and will continue to book with them and recommend them to everyone. They make overseas travel completely stress-free. They’re there to pick you up at the airport, available via WhatsApp etc 24/7 for any issues or help with anything you need. All we had to do was get off the plane and enjoy the trip! They provided great itinerary suggestions and accommodate anything you want/don’t want on your trip. 1000 % recommended! This trip we included 9days in two cities in Cambodia, 12 days in 3 cities in Vietnam with one domestic flight (which they also booked for us). I also love that they use local guides so they are familiar with the area and know things that you can’t learn from books, and it also supports the local economy which is fabulous. I like that my money goes to the local economy, not some corporation/cruise company etc.MelissaSee more testimonialsDESTINATIONS

It
also shares borders with Bolivia, Brazil, and Colombia, and the Pacific.
The country’s total size is 496,230 square miles (1,285,220 sq km), which
is about three times the size of California. Peru’s diverse landscape includes
lush river valleys and arid deserts, snow-capped
mountains
, and colorful
cloud forests and rainforests.Visit PeruPeru has stretches of Andes Mountains and Amazon rainforests. It also boasts coastal deserts, highland plains, alpine lakes, and cloud forests. Northern Peru has fascinating archaeological sites, and all over Peru you’ll find fresh, cutting-edge cuisine.Visiting PeruFrom the well-known Inca and Nazca (the cultures responsible for
Machu Picchu
and the
Nazca Lines
,) to the lesser known Moche, Chavín, Caral-Supe, Paracas,
Wari, and Chimu cultures, Peru has produced a stunning range of civilizations.
And for better or worse, the arrival of the Spanish in the early 16th century
changed the cultural fabric of Peru for good. All of these cultures produced
fascinating art. Meanwhile, Peru’s landscape and immigrant cultures create
an eclectic palette for Peruvian chefs. From sampling fresh ceviche along
the coast to visiting Inca ruins in the
highlands
, your trip here is sure
to be one of your most memorable.Coastal Climate & TerrainThe climate in Peru is dependent on the landscape, as well as the Humboldt
Current and northwest jet stream. The arid
Peruvian coast
runs some 1,500
miles (2,400 km), from Ecuador to Chile. Along the
southern section
of
the coast is the Atacama Desert, one of the planet’s driest places. Peru’s
coastal regions see very little rain, although it does drizzle from time
to time. Coastal cities also get hit with fog, which is known locally as
garúa and is the result of cold coastal air trapped between warmer currents.
This fog typically happens from April to September. The hottest months
along the Peruvian coast are from December through March.Mountain Climate & TerrainThe Andes run down the center of the country, forming the second highest
mountain chain on earth. The tallest mountain in Peru is Huascarán, which
tops out at an elevation of 22,205 feet (6,768 m). In the Andes, the weather
can be cold and chilly, with overnight lows well below freezing. The dry
season lasts from June to August, and the rainy season lasts from December
to March.Between the Andean mountain ranges are fertile valleys where about half
of Peru’s food is produced. This is the area that was terraced and irrigated
by the Inca to grow crops like corn, quinoa, and potatoes. These
highland
areas
have similar seasonal shifts to the Andes.Amazon Climate & TerrainOn the eastern side of the Andes is the
Amazon Basin
. At high elevations,
misty cloud forests form some of the country’s most biodiverse ecosystems.
As you go lower, you hit lowland rainforests and huge, muddy rivers. The
Amazon can see rain throughout the year, b
