Arayavlogs is a Costa Rican travel and lifestyle creator whose channel built its following on a straightforward premise: leave home, go somewhere unfamiliar, and document whatever happens — including the embarrassing parts. The word "tuanis" (Costa Rican slang for cool or great) in the channel's own description signals an informal, distinctly Central American voice that distinguishes it from the more polished travel-content mainstream. Content spans street food challenges across Latin America and the United States, visits to cultural landmarks, wildlife encounters, and pop culture detours — Madame Tussauds appearances and World Cup food reviews sit comfortably alongside a lion encounter or a Miami jewelry segment. The tone throughout is conversational and self-deprecating, with humor built around mishaps rather than aspirational aesthetics.
The audience skews heavily male and is spread across Spanish-speaking Latin America — Argentina, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia lead alongside a significant US Latino segment — giving the channel genuine pan-regional reach rather than a single-market base. Engagement sits well above category median, suggesting an audience that actively participates rather than passively scrolls. The sponsor portfolio tells a coherent story: travel insurance (IATI Seguros), international eSIM connectivity (Holafly), and a VPN (Surfshark) are all products that presuppose a viewer who travels or aspires to. That alignment makes Arayavlogs a logical fit for any travel-adjacent or lifestyle brand seeking authentic Spanish-language reach with an older millennial and Gen X core.
Arayavlogs reaches an audience concentrated in CRI primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. As a travel creator they map naturally to brands targeting that space. Demonstrated partners include IATI Seguros and Holafly. Engagement on YouTube runs around 2.9%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

'Tuanis' is Costa Rican slang for 'cool,' 'awesome,' or 'great,' and Arayavlogs uses it in his YouTube bio — 'quiero enseñarles lo más tuanis de esta tierra' — to promise viewers the coolest things on earth. It's a deliberate nod to his Tico roots that sets his channel apart from other Spanish-language travel creators.
Arayavlogs posted a video captioned 'Me atacó un león!' — meaning 'A lion attacked me!' — along with the hashtags #animales, #leon, and #miedo (fear), making it one of his most alarming-looking pieces of content. The moment fits squarely into the self-described 'desgracias' (mishaps) angle he plays up across his travel videos, where things going unexpectedly wrong is part of the entertainment.
Yes — Arayavlogs was on the ground at the FIFA World Cup 2026 in New York, documenting the fan experience and street food scene around the tournament. He also posted World Cup-themed content referencing Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, tying the sports moment into his signature travel-and-culture vlog style.
Arayavlogs made a dedicated video hunting for the cheapest street food available at the World Cup 2026 in New York, exploring what local vendors were serving fans from across the globe. The episode extended a recurring series he has built across Latin America, including a separate street food vlog shot in Monterrey, Mexico.
Yes — Arayavlogs visited the Madame Tussauds wax museum in Orlando, Florida, creating content around wax figures of Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Gordon Ramsay. The Orlando trip is part of his broader habit of mixing major tourist landmarks with food reviews and reactions, rather than treating any single genre as off-limits.
In his Instagram bio, Arayavlogs describes himself as someone who records 'lugares épicos, cosas raras, comida y mis desgracias' — with 'desgracias' translating to mishaps, accidents, or unfortunate moments. It's a deliberate part of his on-screen personality: leaning into things going comically or dramatically wrong during his travels, which the lion-attack video illustrates perfectly.
Yes — Holafly, the eSIM and travel data service, is an active YouTube sponsor for Arayavlogs. The partnership is a natural fit: Holafly's product is aimed at international travelers who need mobile data without swapping physical SIM cards, and Arayavlogs' entire channel is built around moving between countries constantly.
Yes — IATI Seguros, a travel insurance provider, sponsors Arayavlogs' YouTube content. Given that his videos regularly feature wildlife encounters, street food experiments, and travel to multiple countries, a travel insurance brand aligns directly with the kind of risk-forward adventures his audience comes to watch.
Yes — Arayavlogs is a Costa Rican creator, which comes through in details like his use of the local slang word 'tuanis' in his YouTube channel description. Despite his Tico roots, his audience spans the Spanish-speaking world, with viewers from Argentina, the United States, Mexico, Chile, and Colombia making up his largest viewership bases.
Arayavlogs has grown to nearly four million subscribers on YouTube, placing him firmly in the Mega-tier of travel and lifestyle creators in the Spanish-speaking market. When combined with his Instagram and TikTok followings, his total cross-platform audience sits well above six million, with YouTube carrying the bulk of his long-form vlog output.
