Who We Are at MonteTours
We are not just a tour and transportation company; we symbolize resilience and passion.
Founded in the challenging year of 2020, amidst the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, our journey began when the world paused and tourism faced unprecedented hurdles.
We originally started in 2015 with a hotel in Monteverde, Costa Rica, which we had to close in 2020 due to the global pandemic, as our borders were closed for several months.
However, we saw an opportunity -to prepare for a new era of sustainable, responsible, and immersive travel- and ventured on a new journey, helping travelers plan to visit our country once the borders open again. Learn more about us here.
