About Your Guide

Hi, I’m Kenner Chaves Rosales, and I can’t wait to show you the incredible beauty of Costa Rica’s Sierpe mangroves. Growing up in a family of peasants, farmers, and ranchers, I’ve been connected to nature my entire life. My grandfather arrived in the Corcovado and Drake Bay area by boat in 1970, and I spent my childhood in the mountains of Estero de Guerra, surrounded by the rainforest. We later moved to Sierpe, where I finished school and began working in tourism, a field that has allowed me to combine my love for nature with sharing it with others.

For over 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the most experienced guides and tour companies, and every day, I’m grateful to explore the mangroves and introduce visitors to this unique ecosystem. From monkeys swinging through the trees to birds in flight and crocodiles lurking in the waters, the mangroves are a place where life thrives in remarkable ways.

I’m deeply committed to conservation and sustainable tourism, and I want my tours to inspire a sense of wonder and respect for the environment. Whether you’re here to learn about the ecosystem, spot wildlife, or just take in the stunning views, I’ll make sure your experience is unforgettable. Come join me on a journey through the mangroves, and let’s explore the magic of Costa Rica’s nature together!

Rest assured that Kenner takes the absolute best photos… so you can relax and enjoy your tour without worrying about your camera! Fresh cold water and tea are offered on the boat.
