Costa Rica rainforest tour Guides

We are very fortunate at Selva Verde to have excellent naturalists who strive to provide a true connection with Costa Rican nature and culture.  We would like to present Alexander our local resident naturalist.

Alex Ramirez

Alex has lived in Chilamate since the age of 5. Having been raised with an appreciation for education and nature, he began working at Selva Verde Lodge, showing a special interest in the gardens, butterflies, and frogs. This experience gave him a keen eye and passion for nature.

Alex has had the privilege of conducting important research and coursework at INBIO, Costa Rica's institute for biodiversity and conservation research. This experience left an indelible impression on Alex and contributed to the growth of his career in nature interpretation. He has worked with the Sarapiqui Conservation Learning Center where he became fluent in English.

Alex currently specializes in Costa Rican frogs, birds, and natural history. He has been a part of the Selva Verde family since 1998.
