Your Guides

---

The best people to immerse you in a destination are the ones who live there, which is why we feature local Adventure Guides on our trips. Here are a few that you might meet on this adventure.

Juan Antonio C.

A certified guide since 2014, Juan Antonio has been leading hikers through Costa Rica since he started guiding and specializes in natural history, photography, culture, and history. He holds an international Wilderness First Responder certification. He is an expert on the Camino de Costa Rica, having completed over 40 treks since the first run. His passion for hiking and trekking has taken him up 300 of Costa Rica’s mountains and over celebrated treks and up high peaks internationally. He is an avid amateur photographer and mycologist and loves to get guests excited about their time on Costa Rica’s trails.

Adrian S.

Driven by his admiration for professional guides encountered while pursuing his interests in birdwatching and photography, Adrian became a licensed guide in 2021. He studied sustainability and environmental tourism at university and today, leading travelers, students, and university groups, he shares his lifelong passion for Costa Rica’s rich national parks through an academic and environmental lens. His journey as a guide goes beyond showcasing Costa Rica’s many natural wonders—he strives to foster a deeper connection between people and the environment.

Bryan O.

A born environmentalist, Bryan studied natural resource and wildlife management before earning his guiding certification in 2012. He has led expeditions through the neotropical rainforests of Costa Rica and Panama, and diverse ecosystems ranging from lowland swamp forest to high plateaus. He is an avid birdwatcher and lover of all outdoor adventures from hiking to rafting and rock climbing but is most passionate about raising conservation and sustainability awareness as he guides guests through some of Costa Rica’s most delicate and remarkable environments.
