Letter To an Independent Traveler

Dear Independent Traveler:
It is unfortunate you already made plans; we would have liked to show you around, but you really don’t seem to have time…
Our place is completely out of the way on the tippy top of the mountain, about one mile from the Continental Divide.
It has friendly people, good hiking, good food, good sightseeing…and the cabin is quaint and comfortable: altogether an attractive destination.
Travelers looking for alternative tourism, stay with us and their sightseeing becomes a fantastic/inexpensive experience.
Unfortunately for someone like you, however, if you’re with us for only one night you won’t get the benefit of sightseeing/doing community projects with our Collective.
You will find that distances in Costa Rica are short only on the map (!).
It might also be raining very hard, and some roads and bridges get damaged.
If you add that to our experience as a guide wanting “the best for your buck”, it results in recommendations which sometimes, the independent tourist isn’t willing to consider.
Independent tourists have already made up their mind, or booked something different, so we prefer to stay quiet!
Hope you have a good visit in Costa Rica.
Cordially,
Rich and Silvia
Estimado Turista Independiente:
Lástima que ya tengas tus planes hechos; nos hubiera encantado ayudarte, pero pareciera que no tienes tiempo…
Nuestro lugar está en la cima de la montaña, a escasos dos kilómetros del Cerro Chompipe.
Somos gente amable y ofrecemos lindas caminatas, buena comida y lugares de paseo…además de la cabaña cómoda, somos un paquete atractivo.
Si buscas turismo alternativo, te invitamos a hospedarte en La Casita y haremos lo posible para que te sea una experiencia inolvidable.
Sin embargo, si buscas alojarte solamente una noche, no recibirás el beneficio de paseos, o experimentar el proyecto comunitario que realizamos.
¡Las distancias en Costa Rica, son cortas solamente en el mapa!
También hay mucha lluvia y  las carreteras y puentes se dañan.
Si tomas todo en cuenta, nuestra oferta es la más rentable, pero no es para turistas independientes.
Turistas independientes ya tienen su itinerario y su plan ya hecho, ante lo cual, no nos necesitan.
Esperamos que tengas una linda experiencia en Costa Rica.
Cordialmente,
Silvia y Rich
