Manuel Antonio Tours was founded with one simple mission: to share the rich biodiversity of Manuel Antonio National Park with visitors from around the world, in the most authentic and memorable way possible. With 14+ years of professional guiding experience in Manuel Antonio and the surrounding Quepos region, our guides have developed an unmatched understanding of this ecosystem. We know where the sloths sleep, which trees the white-faced monkeys prefer in the dry season, and the exact spots where scarlet macaws gather at dusk. This deep local knowledge translates into results: our guests consistently enjoy an 80–90% wildlife sighting rate, well above the average for unguided park visits.

We are a team of certified, local naturalist guides who customize and execute field expeditions in the Monteverde cloud forest. Founded in 2017, our operation tailors every tour to the specific interests of the traveler, aligning our field work with their particular goals—whether targeting rare species or facilitating advanced wildlife photography. We offer private tours and small-group experiences covering targeted birdwatching, natural history, and nocturnal safaris. Using ultra-high-definition (UHD) spotting scopes to ensure precise and ethical wildlife viewing, we ground our service in direct on-site operation, seamless logistics—including local transportation—and a strict commitment to delivering on the expectations of travelers seeking Costa Rica's authentic biodiversity.

My name is Gerson. I am a naturalist guide, born in the Caribbean of Costa Rica and now residing in Puerto Jiménez. I visited the Osa Peninsula a long time ago, and I simply fell in love with the place. Since then, I have tried to do the things that fill me as a person: love nature and share it, learn from it, and grow.

From a very young age, I discovered a great fascination for birds and nature, enjoying every opportunity to see and learn about the different species around me. However, it was in 2018 that I began birdwatching more formally, developing a deep interest in bird identification, behavior, and conservation. Since then, I have continued growing within this wonderful world of birdwatching, combining my passion for birding and nature photography. In addition, I hold a General Tour Guide license certified by the ICT, and I have around six years of experience as a guide with a focus on birdwatching and photography, providing enriching experiences for people interested in discovering the incredible biodiversity of Costa Rica.
