Gustavo Camperos
I was originally born in Colombia but at a young age moved to Costa Rica with my family. As foreigners, we were inspired to get to know our new home as much as possible and through those travels I fell in love with the place and its people. Costa Rica is richer than most countries in raw natural beauty, given its concentration in such a small land extension, but an even greater asset are its people. They are always ready to go out of their way to make you feel at home and the Pura Vida motto is highly contagious.
As I grew up I started seeing how travel and sustainability were tools that could be combined to and decided to do my bachelors in hospitality management to have a more formal approach to this world. During college and after I graduated I got involved with the luxury travel segment in Costa Rica, which further allowed me to expand my horizons in what is possible and how travel can be a tool for change.
Currently I work at Kimkim helping travelers plan their trips to Costa Rica and sharing with them my passion and love for this country.
How did you get involved in travel?
"Being born in Colombia and moving to Costa Rica at a young age allowed me to experience the benefits of cultural exchange. I was able to observe both cultures as a foreigner and a local, learning about their similarities and contrasts, and seeing how this exchange can enrich people's lives. This is one of the things that inspired me to create experiences that can help people grow, expand their horizons, make new friends and fall in love with customs and cultures that may even be completely opposite to what they believe. For me travel is a tool for a more tolerant and united world. "
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I will never forget my stay at the Llao Llao Hotel in La Patagonia. It was right at the beginning of winter and I have the clear memory of swimming underneath the barrier that separated the indoor pool from the outdoor pool, feeling the piercing cold in the face as I emerged out of the water and seeing the sun set between the snowy peaks at a distance. It is a sight I do not think I can ever forget, and Patagonia is one of the places I always keep in my heart. "
