“Trust your guide.” This is Felipe’s mantra, and for good reason. With his deep-rooted knowledge of the Osa Peninsula, he offers far more than just any guide could— he provides memorable experiences. With degrees in tourism and hotel management, Felipe set off to embrace the multicultural world — traveling and working from the United States to Europe to the Philippines. But it was the Osa Peninsula that captured him. He came for the waves and the wildlife. He stayed because he found a place where his passion for culture, adventure, and genuine human connection could become a way of life.

Felipe is the reason people come back. He'll take you surfing at dawn at Pan Dulce — a world-class left point break three minutes from your door. He'll put your kids on a kayak in the Golfo Dulce and show them dolphins. He'll organize a fishing trip on The Girlfriend — our private boat — and help Angelica cook what you caught that night. He'll take you across the gulf to surf Pavones when the swell lines up. And at dinner, he'll be the one making everyone laugh while the jungle buzzes around you.

He's not a concierge you call through an app. He's not reading from a script. He's the guy who remembers how you like your coffee by day two, who knows where the toucans nest, who will carry your kid's surfboard back up the beach. He's been doing this at Tumbo for years because he genuinely loves it — and you'll feel that from the moment you arrive.
