About Maratopia
Born by the sea.
driven by stories.
Maratopia is more than a tour agency in Puerto Limón, Costa Rica. Maratopia is a tropical garden, a place full of life and a home for the famous blue morpho butterfly and wildlife sloths.
Since the beginning, our tours are not just smuggling guests, but really taking them with them - into nature, into the culture and into the real way of life of the Caribbean Costa Rica.
We believe a good tour doesn't have to be hectic. She can be relaxed, personal and close to people. This is exactly why we value small moments, honest encounters and an atmosphere in which our guests feel welcome.
Whether in the tropical garden, on our excursions or discovering the surrounding area: Maratopia is not just about seeing places. It's about feeling them.
And that's exactly what makes every tour with us special.

our values
We protect what excites us. Since 1996 we have been designing habitats for butterflies, frogs and wild animals — not as a backdrop, but as a real home.
The warmth of the ticos is not a marketing promise — it is our everyday life. Oscar and his team welcome every guest as if he were coming to Costa Rica for the first time.
Small groups, hand-planned tours, no rush. We show Costa Rica as it really is — not as a travel brochure promises.
Our plantation, our river, our park — everything has grown, not built. We loved what we share. You can feel that.

Together with our international team, local partners and German-speaking guides, we don't just want to show people sights - we want to leave feelings. Personal, warm and far away from mass tourism.
Our tours combine nature, culture and real Costa Rican joie de vivre. Whether it's a jungle canal trip, animal observation, local fruit or encounters with the people of the region - we focus on the experience.
It is particularly important to us that we deal with our guests as a family. Many visitors come as tourists and go as friends.
Pura Vida – for us, this is not just a saying, but a way of life.
We look forward to welcoming you to Maratopia.
