About The Cottom Agency
The Cottom Agency was born from a spark of curiosity in the classroom. Our story began when a dedicated science teacher dreamt of taking her students beyond the pages of a textbook and into the lush, living laboratory of Costa Rica. What started as a mission to share the wonders of the natural world with young minds evolved into a woman-owned travel agency dedicated to the art of intentional travel. We believe that travel should be more than just a destination—it should be a custom-tailored experience that aligns with your passions. Whether you are a solo adventurer seeking clarity or a group looking to reconnect, we specialize in crafting itineraries that favor depth over distance.
What We Do
:From the quiet patience of birding and nature photography to the physical challenge of a backcountry hike, we curate journeys for those who want to see the world through a clearer lens. Our expertise spans a wide range of travel styles, including:
-
Specialized Groups: Science and educational trips, birding expeditions, and nature-focused retreats.
-
Milestone Celebrations: Vibrant Bachelorette groups, unforgettable family reunions, and curated Spring or Fall Break escapes.
-
Connection & Community: Empowering women-only groups and supportive itineraries for solo travelers.
-
Classic Getaways: Luxury cruises and bespoke family vacations tailored to every age.
Our Philosophy
At The Cottom Agency, we don’t just book trips; we facilitate "intentional travel." We handle the
logistics so you can focus on the moment—whether that’s watching the sunrise over a cloud forest or toasting to a new chapter with your closest friends. Let’s turn your dream itinerary into a reality. Where can we take you?

Our Mission
The Cottom Agency transforms curiosity into discovery through intentional travel. From our roots in science education to our expertise in custom group and solo adventures, we curate purposeful journeys—whether hiking, birding, or celebrating life’s milestones—connecting you deeply to nature and the world through expert, bespoke planning.
Our Vision
To inspire a world of intentional explorers by turning every journey into a meaningful connection with nature, community, and the spirit of discovery.
