Robert Umaña - Travel and Birding Costa Rica

Hello, my name is
Robert Umaña

 

 

I am a certified Naturalist Guide by the Costa Rica Tourism Institute and an enormously proud native Costa Rican.  I love my country and have dedicated many years of my life showing visitors my beautiful country and sharing my knowledge of its natural and cultural wonders.

 

My love for nature and cultural diversity has driven me to travel to many countries in the world including Europe, North America, and Latin America.  I have had the privilege of learning about and experiencing new cultures which has translated into an in-depth understanding of travelers needs and perspectives when they visit Costa Rica.

 

Travel and Birding Costa Rica prides itself on the extensive experience and knowledge acquired over the many collective years to ensure that it´s guests will be comfortable, safe and truly experience immersion in nature and culture of Costa Rica within the established schedule.

 

Where it all began

Travel & birding was born from the love of Costa Rica, it`s rich natural diversity and the pleasure and honor that I have had during my whole life living in it.

Professional Path

I studied and had the opportunity to learn about the diversity of Costa Rica´s ecosystems that inspired my profound love for nature.   I continue to self-educate about birds, plants, the neo-tropics and biology through reading books, another of my passions.

After receiving my license as a naturalist guide, I have worked continuously for the last 14 years in tourism with top tour operators from Costa Rica, the US and Canada as a tour guide and tour director. This has meant I have had the opportunity to visit, learn and explore this beautiful little country in the company of visitors from all over the world.

Travel and Birding Costa Rica is a small family of professionals that work together to ensure its clients experience the absolute best of Costa Rica.  With a variety of innovative and unique itineraries, exceptional customer service, comfort, safety, and an eye for details, Costa Rica will be unforgettable.
