Jorge has been guiding eco-tours for about ten years and is one of the most sought-after guides in Guanacaste for many reasons. Rated as top host in most of the online platforms, Jorge is ready to lead your trips into the depths of the Costa Rican biodiversity.
It is a rare person who can effortlessly blend a broad knowledge and deep personal experience of a place, an obvious love and pride for their home, and a genuine interest in providing comfort, safety, and above all, FUN! Jorge is exactly that person.
From the living forest floor to the creatures watching us from the highest tree tops, no natural detail was too small to escape Jorge's attention and curiosity, His enthusiasm for this beautiful place may have been matched only by his excitement in sharing it with us! His stories of the people on this land past and present only deepened our appreciation for Guanacaste and all of Costa Rica.
Even though he might joke about being nicknamed "Mario" after a certain race car driver, Jorge's driving is nothing but safe, steady, and professional from beginning to end. And, if you get him talking about music, you may find that he has a fantastic driving soundtrack, too!
Jorge, thank you for making our first day in Costa Rica and our only full day at Rincon de la Vieja one of the most memorable days of our trip!
Our family had a FANTASTIC day with Jorge (aka. Mario Andretti). He went out of his way to make sure we were ALL happy and interested in the planned activities. The tours he took us to were filled with educational information and hands on interactive experiences that have created lifelong memories. Children would love and learn from the tours of the rainforest wildlife, the minerals in the blue and orange rivers, and the energy generated by the volcanic steam. All this in a one day tour… plus a quick delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Jorge is filled with very interesting and insightful information about Beautiful Costa Rica.
My experience with Jorge as my tour guide and driver in Costa Rica was nothing short of amazing. From the moment he picked me up, he made me feel completely comfortable—like I was traveling with a longtime friend rather than just a guide.
Jorge has a way of making every moment special. He didn’t just drive me from place to place; he shared stories, history, and local insights that brought Costa Rica to life in a way I never could’ve experienced on my own. He paid attention to what I enjoyed and tailored the experience so it felt personal and unique.
Beyond his knowledge and skillful driving, what stood out most was his kindness and genuine passion for what he does. He made sure I felt safe, relaxed, and fully immersed in the beauty of Costa Rica. Whether it was finding the best local spots, taking the scenic routes, or just having great conversations along the way, Jorge truly went above and beyond.
If you’re looking for someone who doesn’t just show you Costa Rica but helps you experience it in the best way possible, Jorge is the one. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide, and I’m so grateful for the memories he helped create. Pura vida!
It was a long day with Jorge on Feb 24th. We started with the Costa Rican breakfast and a sanctuary tour, then headed to the Celeste River tubing for two hours, which was great. After the tubing, we dried off and headed towards LaFortuna to the hot springs for another two hours of getting wet...but with warm water. At the end of the day, we had dinner with a view of the Arenal Volcano then headed back to Playa Hermosa with Jorge driving. You can't go wrong with Jorge. We have used his professional services the last eight years!!
Jorge was not only extremely informative about the plants, insects and animals we found throughout the day; he was also an exceptional photographer. He helped to make sure all the beautiful scenery and moments were captured. What a fun day learning about the park and the Guanacaste region as well.
Jorge is the best!
