He is from Sarapiqui and coincidentally it´s his favorite part of Costa Rica for its natural wealth and its much appreciated White Water River.
As a good Costa Rican he loves Chifrijo a traditional dish.
As a child he was always fascinated by nature, the connection that we can have with Mother Earth, the combination of adrenaline and wonderful views on the tours is something that he enjoys very much and being able to share it with other people is rewarding. Having this job has made him aware of the importance of taking care of our rivers and forests, protect them and teach people about it.

All this experience has been of great contribution to building his own company and taking many visitors to live unique experiences.
He was certified as an IRF (Rafting Instructor) but his passion for nature has always had a lot of weight, which is why he was also certified as a Naturalist Guide, since then his vision has been to train certified multi-talented guides to generate adventure experiences, but also to guide and understand the nature that surrounds us.

He is a native of Guanacaste, he grew up very close to the sea and that is why he loves the water. He has worked in Texas USA and all over Costa Rica.
He is passionate about soccer, his favorite food is Seafood (and that is why he stays so healthy)
