Jorge: A Guardian of the Forest and Local Wisdom
As a resident of Monteverde, Jorge has lived his entire life surrounded by the majestic nature that defines this region. He was born and raised in San Luis, a small, picturesque town that sits in the foothills of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve. From an early age, Jorge developed a deep connection with the forests, trees, and creatures that inhabit this unique ecosystem. His passion for flora and fauna, especially orchids and birds, is something he not only treasures, but also shares with visitors who come to Monteverde looking for an authentic experience.
For Jorge, environmental education is the cornerstone of a sustainable future. He is convinced that by sharing his knowledge and love of nature, he can inspire others to care for and protect the world around us. Guiding tourists through the cloud forest is more than a job for him; it is a calling, an opportunity to plant the seed of conservation in others.
George Jr.: The New Generation of Guides with Inherited Passion
Hi! I'm George Jr., and I'm lucky to have been born and raised in the heart of Monteverde, a place where nature is not just a landscape, but an essential part of daily life. Since I was a child, I've been immersed in this environment, following in the footsteps of my father, Jorge. At the early age of five, I started birdwatching with him, and what started as a childish curiosity soon became one of my greatest passions.
Going out to explore with my father and friends is one of the things I enjoy the most, whether on the trails of Monteverde or in other corners of our beautiful country. The thrill of discovering new species and learning about the complex ecosystems that surround us is something that never ceases to fascinate me.
Recently, I made the decision to follow in my father's footsteps and become a guide. Together, we have begun to run our family business, with a commitment to offering our visitors an authentic and enriching experience. Our goal is not only to showcase the beauty of Monteverde, but also to convey the value of its conservation for future generations.
