Is an honor for us at CostaRicaInfoTravel.com, to include Richard Garrigues as part of our staff of Master Senior Naturalist Guides.

Originally from New Jersey suburbs, Richard came to Costa Rica in 1981, got married and has a nice family. An expert ornithologist, he is the author of the book: The Birds of Costa Rica, a field guide.

I know Richard very well, he was my mentor. He guided my first steps as a naturalist guide, I just simply loved more plants than birds and our professional careers went through opposite directions, but not our friendship.

Having Richard as a birding guide means having one of top 5 ornithologists in Costa Rica, but not only his skills are amazing, but his sensitivity and spontaneous humbleness make all of his trips a delightful experience in all ways.

So get ready for one of the best avid birding trips ever with our top birding tour leaders.
