Alba is a Costa Rican naturalist guide whose passion for wildlife runs as deep as her love for her home country. With guiding experience from Guanacaste’s dry forests to the Caribbean coast, Tortuguero’s canals, and the lush Osa Peninsula, she’s helped countless travelers discover the magic of Costa Rica’s nature and culture.

Beyond her credentials as a licensed ecoguide, guests love Alba for her genuine warmth, fluent English, and talent for spotting wildlife most people would walk right past. She’s happiest sharing her country’s wonders with travelers — and when she’s not guiding, she loves spending time with her young son, Kai, and her rescue dog, Una.
