Each and every retreat guest of BigWorldSmallPlanet is led through an incredible journey through Nicaragua and Costa Rica filled with breathtaking locations, exciting activities and a dynamic culture. Our company's approach is other than one-size-fits-all.  For us, it’s very personal and we revel in being unique and adaptable within these diverse and evolving countries.

As a result, we have successfully cultivated an exceptional local network of both large and small businesses, hoteliers, restaurants and service providers with whom we have established relationships.  We carefully choose our partners just as our guest travelers carefully choose us.
