Why this package wins for nonprofits
Costa Rica has always been the auction package that moves paddles. The combination of rainforest, volcanoes, and beaches in one destination creates immediate bidding momentum—donors picture five nights in a country famous for canopy zip-lines, wildlife-rich guided tours, and easygoing poolside afternoons, optional adventures the winner can arrange on top of a stay HGA coordinates end to end. This is the kind of destination that doesn't require explanation; it sells itself. For your nonprofit, the consignment model means zero financial risk: you pay HGA only the $2,495 reserve if the package sells at auction, and you keep every dollar your bidders raise above that floor. A Costa Rica escape typically commands strong competitive bidding because the mix of adventure and downtime appeals to a wide donor base—families wanting to reconnect, couples seeking both thrill and relaxation, and solo travelers ready to step away from routine.
The experience your winner walks into
Your winner arrives in Costa Rica and selects their setting: beach or rainforest. Over five nights they settle into a hand-selected property with every booking detail handled by their dedicated HGA travel specialist, free to move between adventure and rest at their own pace. The Costa Rica for 2 gives the winner a hand-selected resort and HGA's personalized coordination. From there, the experiences the region is known for can be added — zip-lining through the canopy, wildlife tours to spot monkeys, sloths and tropical birds, guided rainforest and volcano excursions, and local cuisine dining — all optional and easy to arrange, with their HGA specialist glad to help plan and book any of them.
