Hello! I am Hernán, a costarican nature lover, passionate about music, photography, birds and friends. I have done many different jobs always related with tourism, as a certified water lifeguard, as a guide in an adventure park, an entertainer in water parks and hotels, a DJ at private parties and restaurants, Head of Entertainment, tropical dance instructor, children's entertainer and many more. I was working with the largest tourism company in the country and I found a way to study and work, so I got my bilingual general tour guide license in 2018 and became part of my area's certified guides. I started working as a freelance guide in 2021. The desire to show my country prompted me to give my best and create customized tours for my friends and clients in general. I love visiting the Rincón de la Vieja Volcano National Park and observe its volcanic activity, the transition forest, the flora and fauna of the forest, visit Tenorio Volcano National Park and enjoy the spectacular blue waterfall that falls 30 meters where the Maleku natives perform sacred rituals in the past; walking among the clouds on the suspension bridges and observe the majestic Arenal Volcano. I live in the city of Liberia, province of Guanacaste, where you can enjoy delicious meals, enjoy typical and cultural activities, and walk through the city discovering its history, as told by its streets. This is just 15 minutes from the Daniel Oduber International Airport or also called the Guanacaste Airport, and just 30 minutes from the Papagayo Touristic Pole where the largest and most prestigious hotels in the country are located. Plants, flowers, trees, insects as well as people are all part of this great garden called Costa Rica.
