Jimmy Tosso 1998
Although Jimmy has participated in and led many classroom programs designed to educate guides in the natural history of Costa Rica, his true love is in the field – Costa Rica’s rainforest, cloud forest and lowland natural habitat. After graduating from the University in San Jose, Jimmy was a scholarship winner to the Costa Rica Tourism Bureau study program. Of course he is an excellent birder (a necessity to be a top Costa Rica guide), but he is also highly educated in all of the wildlife and habitats, as well as the country’s colorful culture and history. As one of NHA’s top Expedition Leaders, Jimmy is truly a pleasure to travel with and will ensure the success of your trip.

Jimmy's love of his country and its wildlife makes him a superb guide. I cherish all that I learned from Jimmy. Thank you for hiring such a fantastic guide!
Jimmy had an infectious enthusiasm for his job. He was born to be a guide. I mean he was REALLY good. He has excellent language skills. He went above and beyond the call of duty. Jimmy appeared to be genuinely interested in showing and teaching us about the symbiotic relationships between flora and fauna. He is an excellent spotter which was definitely to our advantage. We consider ourselves very lucky to have had Jimmy for a guide, and we consider you very lucky to have him as an employee. He, more than any other single factor, made this trip a complete success for us. Please convey our thoughts to him and let him know what a superb guide he is and how appreciative we are for his efforts
Jimmy is not just knowledgeable about the natural history of Costa Rica, knowing all the birds by their songs as well as their appearance and knowing where to see tree frogs and the resplendent quetzal, but he is patient, cheerful and friendly. His enthusiastic interest in the wildlife and in doing everything he could to help us have a great experience has not worn down with time.
