Mauricio Odio: President and Owner - Expedition and Adventure Guide - Instructor

Mauricio, was born in San José, but raised in the Capital and in the Caribbean lowlands, both in a farm and in town. He began adventure things when he was just a kid, traveling with his father all around the country, and when just getting to the farm in the jungle, near Tortuguero, was a whole day adventure, with 4x4 in the mud, fording big rivers or using just two big tree logs as a bridge. Horseback riding, canoeing, walking in the jungle at the farm, and using a cable -like in the canopy tour- to pass over a river, where part of an average day at the farm. No doubt why he began doing more adventurous activities later, like mountaineering, rock climbing, speleology, mountain bike, scuba diving, horseback riding, 4x4, canopy tours, canyoneering (certified guide by the ACA), white water rafting, kayaking and canoeing. He has been a volunteer in the National Search and Rescue Unit from Red Cross, for more than 13 years, being also an instructor for Search & Rescue, High Angle Rescue, GPS and Cartography, mountaineering and jungle, as well as a former second in charge Chief of the Unit.
