Our story

Orosi, at a cat's pace.

Gatos On Tour was born in 2019 from a passion for walking, exploring and discovering the Orosi Valley. Before starting, we trained as tour guides at Costa Rica's National Training Institute (INA) and then earned our certification from the Costa Rican Tourism Board (ICT).

The cat is our attitude: curious about what lies past the next bend, sure-footed on the trail and always part of the group. Guides, farms, lunches and transport come from the community. This strengthens the local economy.
