Costa Rica Looks Different When You're From There.
★★★★★ “She made the trip better than I could’ve ever imagined.”

Meet Ariana
Costa Rica travel, designed by someone who grew up there.
I'm Ariana, born and raised in Costa Rica, and the person behind every trip Kajaari plans. I started this because I kept seeing travelers invest in trips that didn't really fit them. Generic routes, interchangeable hotels, guides reading from a script. Costa Rica is where I go deepest. For Peru, Ecuador, and beyond, trusted local partners bring that same care.
Why Travelers Choose Me
Your journey supports the people you meet
Your journey supports the people and places you visit. I choose accommodations and guides I'd personally recommend, properties where you can feel the care that went into building them.
Every detail handled, nothing left to chance
I handle every detail, accommodation, timing, guides, so your only job is to show up and be present.
Beyond the guidebook, into the real thing
Through vetted local operators, you’ll reach places and experiences that most itineraries skip entirely; not because they’re secret, but because you need someone who knows where to look.

Tell me where you want to go, what excites you, your style and budget. This call is relaxed and focused. No pressure.
2. We refine together
I craft a detailed, day-by-day plan tailored to you; carefully chosen properties, private guides, thoughtful pacing. We refine together until it’s exactly right.

Outstanding Experience from Start to Finish
I had an amazing experience working with Ari. She was so attentive to my little details and made the trip even better than I could’ve ever imagined/expected. She was available during the trip as well to answer questions and help out in anyway that I needed. She was able to take all my requests and bring it together with planning out an amazing trip for my husband and I. We would recommend her 100%!
