Fabio's Beginnings as a Guide in Corcovado
Fabio Araya's journey as a nature guide began over a decade ago in the remote wilderness of Corcovado National Park. Nestled in the Osa Peninsula, this park is renowned for its incredible biodiversity, housing 2.5% of the world's species. Fabio's early experiences in this challenging environment laid the foundation for his illustrious career.
Starting his career at a hotel in one of the most remote areas of the South Pacific, Fabio quickly became adept at leading a variety of tours. He conducted nighttime excursions, kayaking adventures, bird-watching expeditions, and guided hikes focusing on the unique flora and fauna of the region. His encounters with endemic species and the stunning biodiversity of the South Pacific enriched his understanding and passion for wildlife.
During his time in Corcovado, Fabio had remarkable encounters with diverse wildlife, including dangerous species like the terciopelo (fer-de-lance) snake and larger mammals such as tapirs, forest falcons, pumas, and jaguars. He also observed marine life, including bull sharks in the Sirena River's mouth and playful otters along the riverbanks. These experiences made Corcovado one of the most intense and biologically rich areas in the world for Fabio.
Fabio's quest for knowledge didn't stop in Corcovado. He spent several months in the northern Caribbean, near the Tenorio Volcano and Rio Celeste, immersing himself in the local ecosystems and avifauna. These experiences further broadened his expertise, making him a well-rounded guide.
Today, Fabio applies his extensive knowledge and passion in the Central Pacific region, particularly in Manuel Antonio. His deep understanding of the area's biodiversity and his commitment to conservation make him an exceptional guide. Visitors on his tours gain unique insights into Costa Rica's wildlife, making their experiences both educational and unforgettable.
