The Costa Rica Crew at PCR

Costa Rica Guy (aka, Scott Bowers) – CFP (Chief Fire Putter-Outer)

Scott is from the Carolinas and first came to Costa Rica in 2001 to broker a deal with one of the top for-profit private universities in Costa Rica and Panama. That “deal” took two years to complete and forever altered Scott’s life. In course of its completion Scott began to look for other business opportunities (or excuses to travel frequently to Costa Rica) and came up with the idea for Package Costa Rica. The rest, as they say, is history. Scott now resides full-time in Costa Rica. He loves all aspects of Latin culture and even can hold his own in the discos with the locals dancing Salsa or even Tico Cumbia! Scott has four great kids who reside in South Carolina. Their names are Michelle, Zachary, Emily and Rebekah.

Yahaira Rojas – Virtual Office Manager

Yahaira is a Costa Rican. She grew up in the hills of the Central Valley, surrounded by coffee plantations. Maybe that is the reason why a coffee cup is always a good start for her mornings. She got a B.S. in Biology from the University of Costa Rica and now she is pursuing a Master’s degree in Natural Resources Management. She is also very excited of being the mother of Sara, her cute baby girl. Yahaira loves nature, travel and digital photography. Usually, she does not head to any trip without her binoculars. Yes, she loves spotting out all sorts of animals, and talking to people about Costa Rica ecosystems and huge biodiversity. She strongly believes in the power of environmental education, so she enjoys teaching kids about it. The wetlands of Tortuguero National Park are one of her favorite places, where she spent some time as a volunteer. But Sarapiquí rainforest is deep in her heart since she worked there as a guide for several years. So happy of living in this country, she can be a good adviser if you love nature tours.
