Hi, I’m Jose Hernandez, a proud Costa Rican tour guide, professional photographer, and videographer with a deep passion for sharing the true essence of Costa Rica with the world.
I studied Tropical Ecology and Tourism, which allows me to understand Costa Rica far beyond the surface. My knowledge isn’t just from books — it comes from years of hands-on experience guiding travelers through rainforests, volcanoes, coastlines, and hidden gems that most big tour operators overlook.
I’ve been working as a tour guide for many years, dedicating my life to exploring and understanding Costa Rica’s ecosystems, wildlife, and culture. Because I was born and raised here, and professionally trained in ecology, I understand the Costa Rican environment on a deeper level than any large tour company ever could. I don’t just show you places — I help you truly experience them.
As a professional photographer and videographer, I also know how to capture Costa Rica’s magic — the light in the jungle at sunrise, the movement of wildlife, the power of waterfalls, and the soul of our landscapes. Through my travel guide, I share not only locations but insider knowledge, timing tips, hidden spots, and authentic experiences you won’t find in generic travel blogs.
If you’re looking for a real, local perspective — built on education, experience, and passion — my travel guide is made for you.
Let me show you the Costa Rica I know and love.
