I am French, Luxembourgian, Moroccan, and Algerian, and I moved to the Osa from the Netherlands to follow my passion for creating meaningful experiences in nature. As an animal lover and plant geek, I find endless inspiration in the wild beauty of this region. I also love supporting local initiatives that keep our community grounded and connected.
 

With Osa Spirit, I combine my skills in management with my creative side. If you join an acoustic sunset session, you’ll find me singing; if you come to an art workshop, I’ll be right there hosting and creating with you. My goal is to bring together nature, music, art, and community—the things that make life truly beautiful.

​My name is Jenkins Rodríguez Segura, and I was born in Dos Brazos de Río Tigre. I grew up on a farm, and in my early years I worked as a gold miner and farmer. Since childhood, I have been deeply connected to nature. My father was a traditional medicine man who healed with herbs, and through him I learned to respect the wisdom of the forest.
 

Over time, this connection inspired me to become a guide. For the past nine years, I’ve been sharing my love for nature with visitors, helping them experience the magic of Corcovado and feel the good energy the forest gives us.

My name is Gabriel Rodríguez. I studied Political and Administrative Sciences, but my lifelong love for nature led me to take another path and turn that passion into my way of life. Today I work as a naturalist guide here in the Osa Peninsula, sharing immersive experiences through kayaking and hiking along the forest trails and mangroves of Puerto Jiménez.
 

What I seek is simple: experiences that help us reconnect with the essence of life in a place like this. From the forest and the sea to the people who belong to this land, I guide travelers to explore with care, contemplation, and presence. My aim is to awaken sensitivity so each person can live moments of genuine connection—paddling at sunrise, entering the mangroves, observing the wildlife, or watching the ocean glow with bioluminescence. Every journey is an invitation to return to what is essential.
