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.

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.

Luis D.

Luis was born in Seville, Spain, and graduated from the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid with a degree in Environmental Biology. He is fluent in Spanish, English, and French and has guided in Galapagos since 1999.
