Why this package wins for nonprofits
Costa Rica has always been the auction package that moves paddles. The combination of rainforest exploration, volcano viewing, and beach relaxation in one trip creates immediate bidding momentum—donors picture themselves zip-lining through canopy, spotting wildlife on guided tours, and unwinding poolside, all in five nights. 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 experience the full spectrum of what draws people to this destination. Zip-lining adventures through the canopy offer an adrenaline rush most donors remember for years. Wildlife tours reveal the region's biodiversity up close—monkeys, sloths, tropical birds. When the pace calls for stillness, they settle by the pool or into the rhythm of local cuisine, tasting the flavors that define Costa Rican hospitality. The volcanoes and rainforest create a dramatic backdrop for every moment, whether they're hiking a trail, soaking in a view, or simply breathing the air. HGA's travel team coordinates every detail, so your winner arrives to a room that's ready, a schedule that flows, and the freedom to move between adventure and rest at their own pace.
