My job involves working with people from different parts of the world that come to visit the Monteverde Cloud forest and the wide variety of tours that one can experience during the visit to this amazing area. I have been working in tourism since I was 15 and I never get tired of sharing and creating new memories in the heart of those who visit this unique colourfull town.

I am Jason López and I have lived in Costa Rica all my life. I have been in love with nature since my childhood and I am very fortunate to live in this country with such natural wealth. For this reason I like to offer the best options to visitors who like to know the area and the natural beauty that is hidden in it.

I'm Andy, I was born in Monteverde, I've spend all my life around the forest and the nature, the school where I studied always tried to teach about conservation. About 3 years ago I started working as a tour guide and realized, that where I really wanted to be it was outside, observing and enjoying all the wild life we have. Had worked in some parks in the area, which gave me a lot of knowledge about the flora and fauna, I spend by my self in the forest just to see animals that i haven't seen.

Involved in tourism since 2004, I have found in the forest the best way to show the beauties of Costa Rica, this is how constantly learning and sharing what I have learned has become my motto and passion.
