Our data & coverage
We think a travel site should be able to tell you exactly what it knows and how it knows it. Here is ours, generated from the last sync rather than written by hand.

Retrieval & coverage
We sweep Viator’s product search for Costa Rica with full pagination and reconcile our count against the API’s own reported total. If those two numbers disagree, the sync fails rather than publishing a partial catalog.

“Non costa rica” means the product appeared in Viator’s Costa Rica results but is assigned to another country - we found tours in Panama, Puerto Rico, and Punta Cana in the feed. They are excluded rather than silently shown.
What’s complete, what isn’t
Source data is uneven. Rather than filling the gaps with plausible guesses, we leave them empty and say so on the page.

What we deliberately don’t claim to know
- Whether a price is bookable. Every price here is Viator’s lowest “from” price at our last sync. It is not a quote for your dates, party size, or options. Only the Viator booking page can tell you that.
- Where most tours depart from. Viator’s search data gives exactly one location per tour, which doesn’t distinguish the pickup point from the place you actually visit. We only know the difference for tours we’ve enriched.
- Real-time availability.We don’t cache availability, because a cached answer to “is this free on Thursday” is worse than no answer.
- That we have every Costa Rica tour in existence. We have every product Viator’s API returns for Costa Rica - verified complete against their own total, and cross-checked against fourteen other query paths. Tours sold only elsewhere aren’t here.
