"Cloutier spends about six weeks a year in Costa Rica and is familiar with all the country's landscapes, from its lush cloud forests to its rocky volcanoes. Though she particularly enjoys directing her clients to up-and-coming destinations such as Canto Ballena—a whale-birthing area Cloutier calls "the next great beach location"—she gets equal pleasure from scouting the best hotels, always in a variety of price ranges."
