It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of our colleague and friend, Beat, who passed away on May 17th. Beat passed away unexpectedly of natural causes. We will all miss him more than words can express. He was not just a founder but an integral part of the Viaventure family.

Beat’s passion for adventure led him to Central America in the early 1990’s, and he remained a pioneer of adventure travel in the region ever since. His commitment and passion to sustainability influenced not only the experiences he created for travelers, but all aspects of his life. Beat championed environmental causes and was a staunch advocate that truly walked the walk.

Beat was an advocate not only for the environment, but for the communities he visited and lived among. He spearheaded many sustainable initiatives including our own Viaventure Foundation, working hand-in-hand with local grass roots development projects throughout the region.

Beat had a serious and bright mind, but a very playful heart. Those who knew him well will never forget a smile that made his eyes disappear, and the laugh that followed afterward. He laughed a lot, and sometimes at himself.

A top cyclist who won national championships, it was rare to find Beat traveling anywhere by car. He was always training, always searching for new routes, always seeking the next challenge.

Most of all, Beat was dedicated to his family, a loving husband and proud father to four beautiful children.

We are lucky to have called Beat our family, too. He will be deeply missed.

Very proud of the Viaventure team whom, along with Finca in the Clouds, traveled to the community of San Vicente Pacaya to donate food for the people -- including food their horses and dogs. Approximately 120 families were able to participate in the donation. Thank you to everyone who participated in this effort! ❤️ We're all in this together. 🤝 Thank you for your support!

We are pleased to share some pictures of the Viaventure team recently helping Buckner Guatemala distribute food donations to 144 families in three communities in the Antigua Valley. A special thanks goes out to our trusted transportation partner Gustavo Guzman Farfan for donating his vehicle for the cause. These times have been incredibly difficult for everyone, and it's really great to see organizations and individuals alike working together to make sure everyone is looked after. We are happy to do our small part!

Costa Rica is reopening for tourists from EU, UK and Canada starting August 1st!

We are very excited about this news, and believe that as a primarily open-air-activity destination (beaches, hiking and nature trails, national parks, etc), Costa Rica is the perfect vacation choice while Covid is still a concern.

The safety of tourists and Costa Ricans alike has been greatly considered, and you can see here in this video how much thought and effort has gone into the re-opening of Costa Rica's international airport.

In addition, the following conditions must be met by all visitors:

- Complete and present an epidemiological survey.
- Present proof of a negative coronavirus test received within 48 hours of their arrival to Costa Rica.
- Hold travel insurance that covers medical care or an unexpected extended hotel stay.
- Follow all airport and local health protocols.

We can't wait to see you back in our region very soon!!

And just when he thought it was safe to be back at the office, 2020 strikes again! Diego (one of our Travel Specialists) taking this little hammock mishap in stride. 👏

On a serious note, we are all doing well and keeping busy staying on top of client requests. Great to see future booking interest is still strong for the region! We can't wait to pick ourselves up again (literally, Diego!) and host guests again in the very near future. 🏝🌋✈️

We love Portofino Beach Resort in Belize - such great value for money. Such great staff and service. What do you think? Is this somewhere you could see yourself kicking back and relaxing when this is all over? An island paradise on the northern end of Ambergris Caye Island in Belize? Very much away from it all. #Belize #Beach #Relax

One of the best things about travelling in Guatemala is that you might happen across a fabulous local celebration and ceremony where people wear full traditional dress and the whole community comes out to celebrate, Here is a short video captured by a client in San Andres Xecul... . . . #guatemala #adventuretravel #festival
