Puntarenas is the capital and largest city in the Province of Puntarenas, on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The eponymous and oddly shaped province has its largest section in the South, far from the capital. Most travellers use Puntarenas as a stepping stone, riding the ferries from San José and the mainland to the Nicoya Peninsula and back. However, the city is a popular destination for Costa Ricans during holidays and the dry season. Cruise ships also frequently dock here, sending their passengers on day-long inland excursions.
Natalie is nothing short of reliable, thorough and professional. Since 2009, she has organized my travels, assisting me in seeing over 15 countries. Most recently, she planned a Safari in Kenya and Tanzania for my Father and I. She is incredibly prompt with communications, and manages to anticipate my questions before I ask them. She's a wealth of knowledge, offering tips, tricks, do's and don'ts and ensures you have all prerequisites like vaccinations, VISAs, and all paperwork prior to departure. All things she diligently researches so that you can simply enjoy. My brother has used her to travel to Italy/Spain and most recently, a best friend for her destination wedding in 2019. They were so happy to have had her at the helm. I have future travel plans, and will without doubt make sure she's part of
them. If you're planning on travelling in any capacity, and you're nervous or don't want to book things alone, get Natalie Schillberg on your speed dial. You will be thankful you have her.
