She is fluent in English, French and Italian.  She is the owner of the company and has helped organized customized trips to very happy customers for over 23 years all over Costa Rica.  Viajes Colibri moved its offices to the Museum of the Oxcart Driver several months ago with the idea of impulsing this wonderful project and help you the growth of her community by bringing more tourist to her charming town.

Rosie with the sponsorship of Viajes Colibri started a volunteer program over a year ago to make Venecia, her home town an even more beautiful little town.  She gathered local artist from all over town and with their help have created fun murals that are making Venecia stand up as an artsy and cultural center. In conjuction with the goals of  the local Oxcart Driver Museum to preserve our traditions, Viajes Colibri is seeking to also incourage the arts, music and folcklor of this small town through festivals that take place at the Museum every month.

Tour Coordinator and Master biology guide.

Lloyd our master naturalist guide with more than 30 years of experience. He has deep knowledge and understanding of Costa Rican Natural diversity that will inspire you.  Recent customers could not have said it better: “The asset that makes this trip to Costa Rica a premier trip is our guide, driver and friend, Lloyd Matinez. He has degrees in biology and tourism. He is an expert botanist and ornithologist with 30+ years of experience giving tours of his country. He has shown us an appreciation for this country with it’s geography and history.

The special part is our road trips where a rare sighting of a bird or animal has us stopping on the road and piling out of the van where he sets up a telescope for us to get a view. On the trails we go slow because he stops us every hundred feet or so to patiently point out a bird, snake, bug, tree or native plant that we would have overlooked. We have learned so much! He has delighted the birders on our trip and helped them add over hundred new birds to their lists.

Our congenial and physically fit band of travelers has had a lot of fun here and he’s been able to keep up with Lloyd.”  Jan and Jim Hughes, College Station Texas.
