Esteban Biamonte
Esteban Biamonte’s aim in life is nature preservation. Literally since his early youth he has been a nature lover, especially when it comes to birds. Nature was his passion long before he found out that such a field of study even existed. Now, years later, he is a biologist, finishing his Masters Degree in bird conservancy, a tour guide with 13 years experience certified by the Costa Rican Board of Tourism, and, of course, an inveterate naturalist. Extracurricular activities include travel, latin dancing, reading, and the Korean martial art of Tang Soo Do.
What Our Guests Say
Esteban was a perfect match for our family. While we really enjoyed the adventure part of the trip (zip-lining, rafting, etc), we especially benefited from Esteban's expertise and environmental interpretation. I felt that we saw as much wildlife as was there to see—nothing escaped Esteban.
Esteban is an exceptional guide! He was great at spotting, identifying and setting up the scope for the group to view a bird or animal that he spotted. In the cloud forest, our group and a few other people were in a viewing area seeking out a resplendent quetzal, and he was the first person to spot it and have his scope set up in the best spot. He also has a deep respect and knowledge about Costa Rica and is excited to share it. Esteban also loves nature and was able to infuse that in all of our activities. He truly made the trip memorable! When I return to Costa Rica again, I would want him to be my birding guide for sure!
Esteban was absolutely the best guide I have ever had. He was an expert in spotting wildlife, and we even saw the reclusive resplendent quetzal thanks to him. Words don't describe how kind, thoughtful, considerate and professional he was with our group. He gave us a wonderful education on the history of the country and culture of Costa Rica. Everything was very well organized. Meals, tours, boat rides, plane rides and bus rides all went smoothly with no delays or problems thanks to Esteban. He explained our daily schedule in detail the night before and was always available for questions. I really can't think of anything that could have been improved upon. I hope you realize what a gem he is for your company!
