Jose Granados Espinoza

Originally from the Province of Heredia in the Central Valley, Jose’s family moved to San Isidro del General 13 years ago, when his mother accepted a teaching position in the town. Jose first came to Hacienda Baru as an intern. We were all really lucky because he wasn’t originally scheduled to come to us, but as fate would have it, he ended up at Hacienda Baru.

After he finished his internship he went back to school to finish his studies and improved his English, Jose assures us that he gained a lot of English fluency from playing video games! He then returned to Hacienda Baru to work for us as a guide.
 
Jose leads the Flight of the Toucan, the Night in the Jungle and the Rainforest Experience. He is training to become certified for all other tours and is the proud owner of his own binoculars and is saving for a telescope.
 
His passion is the birds of Hacienda Baru; his favorite species are the Violet-crowned Woodnymph and the White- necked Jacobin. His dream is that soon when guests reserve their tours at Hacienda Baru they will be requesting him as their guide.

Capuchin Capers
