Learning about the Costa Rican culture
I work in hospitality and have very high expectations. Serendipity thought of everything. Your staff is the very best in the world. I always felt safe, well-fed, well cared for. I can't imagine vacationing again without Sergio to guide us. He is the most knowledgeable man I have ever met in so many areas- culture, plants, animals, birds, first aid, food- any topic we threw at him he taught us about. What a find you have with him!
Everything from our 1st phone call to our last goodbye was top notch. I will send many, many people your direction. Keep doing what you are doing. Serendipity is first class! — Pam R., Santa Clara, CA, June, 2005

We believe that culture is something found not in museums, but in the campo. It is captured by the way everyday people live their lives. To learn about it, you need to get away from the big tourist destinations, and to experience it you need to step into someone else's shoes.
Your Serendipity guide will act as your walking encyclopedia about Costa Rica. He will help you select the best food and explain the pilgrimage of the Dia de La Virgen de Los Angeles. He will also seek out local flavour, by finding local fiestas so you can watch horses dance at a tope or fight a bull the tico way or a learn to dance salsa to a local band.
Many farmers still use oxen to plow their fields and horses are still a primary mode of transportation for campasinos.
