Erick Guzman grew up in the Sarapiqui region on the Caribbean slope of Costa Rica. He learned about the birds, animals, and plants of the region by accompanying his father, who was a tour boat operator and naturalist guide. Erick currently works as a resident guide at La Selva Biological Station, where he guides birding groups and individuals on a daily basis. He has travelled and been birding throughout Costa Rica, which has greatly broadened his birding skills. He speaks excellent English and is a perfect guide for our nature photo tours.
