Hello, dear (amigos) friends, I am here to help you, to discover my country, so you can see it through local eyes. You can enjoy more, since you will be less worried, about the unknown that most people suffer while traveling, and more excited about the upcoming events along the day's tour! I have been experiencing Costa Rica as a professional local facilitator for more than ten years, so with me as your local guide there will be no worries about: car condition, driving, spotting wildlife, bird watching, finding local tours, knowing where to find grocery stores or drug stores, finding the nicest roads to travel, doing research on local history, interpreting the geography and weather conditions, facing dangerous situations, having a first aid kit and medical assistance if needed, getting on time to all the attractions and activities. Some of our activities may include: wildlife watching, interpretation of natural trails in national parks; visiting important local people who are involved in the preservation of our cultural heritage; visiting landmarks; photography sessions; donating different goods to local kids and schools; boat trips to islands in the Nicoya Gulf; visiting organic farms and rural projects, swimming in the Pacific ocean; alcohol-free picnics; soft walks of no more than two miles long through the tropical cloud forest; hiring adventure tours as rock climbing, canopy, horseback riding, aerial tram, river floating, zip lining, white water rafting, and much much more. . .

Highly recommend Henry.. the tour of the Carara national park was fun, thorough and informative, the guide through the countryside was great, and we really enjoyed the lunch spot he chose in the mountains. The tour was a happy immersion into the local culture. Henry showed and told us all sorts of interesting things along the way. He was courteous, entertaining, and a made the experience a pleasure for the whole family.

Henry was an excellent guide on our excursion to the rain forest in Costa Rica. His knowledge was so extensive and his quiet and calm manner made the trip through the forest most enjoyable. His ability to direct us to the various bird, reptile and animal sightings certainly made for an excellent tour experience. Given the physical abilities of our group of four, Henry quite easily tailored the tour to meet our needs. First rate!

Henry turned what would have been a nice walk into a magical mystery tour. We saw macaws, toucans, monkeys and bats. After the park visit, we ate a lovely lunch at the top of a mountain enjoying a comfortable breeze and gazing out into the countryside.

Henry and his brother Dennis (driver) were fantastic and I highly recommend them for introducing you to local areas of Jaco. Henry was able to adjust our trip as one of our family injured his leg before our tour and we were able to take a wheelchair through the National Park, and then lunch up in the mountains. Knowledgeable, kind, and enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Henry was amazing. He truly enjoys what he does and has a passion for the wonderful Eco-system and its companions. Very patient and knowledgeable. The lunch trip was the hi-light and a great memory.
