Gema Cantillano
Trip Designer
Hola! I'm Gema, and I've been a part of Anywhere Costa Rica since 2006 — I've been involved in the Tourism Industry over a decade.
As a reliable and passionate person, I love planning trips to our beautiful country. It means I not only have the opportunity to educate travelers about all of the options they have but, also help them experience the best of Costa Rica. One of my favorite destinations is Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula — it is a unique place on the South Pacific Coast that everyone should see at least once (exuberant rainforest, wildlife, and a peaceful environment).
I'm so passionate about travel that I've even managed to put my professional skills to use outside of Anywhere by coordinating volunteer service for young travelers — an independent initiative to contribute to community growth and development. The community service is 'ad honorem;' the primary goal is to create a positive impact through small changes.
Working at Anywhere has been a great journey. Come and visit us, I'd love to help you experience the warmth of our people, and get immersed into the local culture.

The whole process from start to finish was so helpful- it gave me confidence in planning our first trip to Costa Rica. Gema and the team were responsive, listened and proactive as we got closer to the trip. Also while in country the team was so professional, and helpful- during transfers but also via text as questions or issues came up.
Erika S.
All the excursions were amazing and the tour guides were so knowledgeable!! Juliana even paired us up with another family with a boy close in age to our son and another mom who was a teacher! The hotel Lost Iguana was the best hotel we’ve ever stayed at!

Gema was incredible to work with. She was very responsive and very helpful to ensure our trip was planned how we wanted. We only ended up booking travel with Anywhere, but would recommend for full itinerary planning as well!

We booked travel between Liberia / La Fortuna / Tamarindo with Anywhere. The vehicles are new and clean (private transfer you will receive an almost new mini-bus that’s around 7 seats). Plenty of room, comfortable and can control own A/C, safe transfers, no stress driving.
