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.
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.

What an amazing adventure. We were able to customize our tour. Mario was an excellent guide. We saw sloths, toucans, and fabulous wildlife during the sloth sanctuary hike. We then really enjoyed the coffee and cacao tour. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Our local lunch made us feel entirely immersed in the Pura Vide experience. Mario was extremely personable, considerate, and knowledgeable, he was good company on the drive and an amazing photographer!

Mario was a friendly and knowledgeable guide that did a great job of showing us the beauty of Guanacaste. There was never a dull moment during the tour and he was always pointing out interesting things to see during our hike. We would definitely have him as our guide again.
The very best !
