A Passion for Wildlife Since Childhood

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been fascinated by dinosaurs and the natural world. Watching National Geographic documentaries and movies like Jurassic Park made me dream of exploring rainforests and living close to nature. Filmed right here in Costa Rica, Jurassic Park felt like a glimpse into my future. Now, living and guiding in Tortuguero – where parts of the movie were shot – is a dream come true. I found a way to share this sense of wonder with others through eco-tourism, making each tour feel like an adventure in nature.

Guiding with Expertise and Heart

My journey to becoming a naturalist guide has been full of adventure and learning. I began my studies in Guápiles and completed my training in Corcovado, where I worked alongside incredible guides who inspired me. Today, I hold three guiding licenses, allowing me to lead unique experiences that immerse visitors in Tortuguero’s biodiversity.

Connecting People with Nature

In my tours, I aim to go beyond just showing animals. Each tour is a unique opportunity to connect with nature without setting strict expectations. Tortuguero’s biodiversity is vast, with everything from monkeys and caimans to vibrant birds and butterflies. I help guests embrace each encounter as a gift, teaching them to find joy in every sighting, big or small. My approach is interactive and personal – I want each person to feel the wonder of the rainforest and leave with a new appreciation for wildlife and conservation.

Guiding with the Right Tools and Knowledge

On each tour, I bring tools like binoculars, wildlife guides, and a green laser pointer to enhance the experience. These allow you to see Tortuguero’s wildlife up close and connect more deeply with the environment. I encourage everyone to listen closely to the sounds around us, actively engaging in the discovery of Tortuguero’s unique ecosystem. Together, we’re not just observing – we’re stepping into a world full of life, where every sighting feels like nature’s gift.
