Sonia León - Owner
Born in Colombia, Sonia Leon is the youngest of three sisters. She has a degree in Finances and foreign affairs. Sonia loves nature. Most of the time she lived in Colombia and now in Costa Rica.
Sonia made of the South Pacific her home six years ago. During this time, she has had the opportunity to gain first-hand experience about the main tourist attractions of the area and to know most hotel owners and operators throughout COSTA BALLENA.
Thanks to her extensive experience, and to the fact that virtually everybody in the area knows her or have heard of her, she decided to venture with her own business, which has become a main reference point for travelers and residents of Uvita and its surroundings.
Sonia has also worked with local communities and cooperation agencies to implement development projects that are nature-friendly.
