Edgardo U.
I’m a Costa Rica-based travel operations professional, trip leader and guide with more than 10 years of experience in tourism and extensive hands-on experience across Costa Rica and Central America. Since 2012, I’ve worked with international travelers and travel companies, leading and supporting small-group adventure and experiential trips. I have operated 200+ trips in Costa Rica, developing deep destination knowledge across accommodations, transportation, activities, restaurants, local suppliers and travel logistics. My experience goes beyond guiding. I’m comfortable coordinating the operational side of a trip — managing itineraries, working with local suppliers, organizing activities and transportation, communicating with guests, adapting plans and solving problems on the ground. I also have a background in Sustainable Tourism Management.

“San Jose City Tour”
Thank you Alejandro for our city tour of San Jose. We have never taken the time to go into the city. Learned so much from our conversations and your guide to the city. Excellent information about history and culture. Enjoyed both markets and the coffee break. The stops at the Teatro Nacional and the Cathedral were both beautiful architectural highlights. The Gold Museum was amazing. We asked for lunch at a local restaurant and La Criolita did not disappoint. So thank you again, Alejandro, for a fantastic tour.

Thank you very much for your message! I had a wonderful time showing you around San José, and I am happy you enjoyed discovering the city, history, culture, markets, and all the special places we visited together. It was a pleasure to spend the day with you both, and your curiosity and great company made the tour even more enjoyable for me. If you come back, I would love to see you again and show you even more of this country. All the very best Alejandro
