Local travel agency in Costa Rica
Morpho Evasions, your local agency based in San Carlos.
Our story
Morpho Evasions was born from a deep commitment to Costa Rica and a simple belief: tourism can be a positive force for both nature and the communities that call it home.
The agency was founded in 2011, following several years spent by its founders exploring the country for other organizations. From this experience emerged the desire to create a different kind of travel—more human, more respectful, more rooted. A pioneer of tailor-made and sustainable tourism, Morpho Evasions has gradually established itself as an English-speaking reference in Costa Rica, driven by a commitment to hand-crafted itineraries and authentic encounters.
At the heart of the adventure are Paola, a certified guide with an infectious smile, and Mathieu, a biologist passionate about tropical ecosystems. Around them, a team of eighteen enthusiasts united by a shared love of the country and concrete commitment: reforestation, marine turtle protection, organic farms, collaborations with local families and researchers. The agency is today certified at Elite level by the Certification for Sustainable Tourism, the highest distinction awarded in Costa Rica.
Here, we don't replicate programs. We build trips that reflect who you are.
Morpho Evasions is part of the Nomadays collective. This partnership allows you to benefit from direct organization with a local team based in Costa Rica, while enjoying secure booking in France: payment in euros, deposit protection, APST guarantee and compliance with French tourism law. You thus get the best of both worlds: the proximity of an on-the-ground team and the security of a protective legal framework.
Costa Rica is a country that reminds us how much nature can still be omnipresent. My role is to help travelers discover it without altering it.
— Mathieu, Nature travel craftsman in Costa Rica

Morpho Evasions designs your trip directly in Costa Rica, with advisors who know the ground daily. You avoid intermediaries, gain in responsiveness and benefit from advice on genuinely lived experiences — no standardized marketing catalog.
Plan ideally 2 to 3 months before departure during peak seasons (hotels and guides are scarcer), 1 month is enough for quieter seasons. For last-minute departures, get in touch with us: we'll honestly tell you if we can put together a quality trip within the timeframe.
Yes, 7 days a week throughout your stay. You'll receive a local WhatsApp number + a dedicated emergency contact. Our on-site team can assist within hours in case of unexpected events (cancelled flight, illness, weather changes).
Your payments are 100% protected by the Professional Solidarity Association for Tourism. If a service provider (hotel, transport, etc.) or the agency fails, your funds are refunded. This is a mandatory guarantee for any French travel agency — Nomadays benefits from it across its entire network.
Yes, as much as possible. Changes made more than 30 days before departure are generally free of charge (excluding hotel rate differences). As your departure approaches, some bookings become less flexible — we always inform you of your options before confirmation.
Payment is made in full in France, in euros, with Nomadays — secured by credit card or bank transfer. You have no payments to make in Costa Rica: everything is pre-arranged (accommodations, transfers, guides, activities). You just need to budget for meals outside the itinerary and personal purchases.
