About me

I am a naturalist and explorer passionate about discovering the wildlife and tropical ecosystems of Panama. For over 10 years, I have explored forests, mountains, coastlines, and islands, documenting their biodiversity, with a special interest in birds, amphibians, and reptiles. I currently work as a Naturalist Guide at Tranquilo Bay, Bocas del Toro, where I share wildlife exploration and nature experiences with people from around the world. I love discovering the things that often go unnoticed: a song echoing through the trees, a hidden species among the vegetation, or a fascinating connection between the inhabitants of the forest. I believe every field adventure holds a discovery, and the best experiences happen when we slow down, observe, and connect with nature. My purpose is simple: to explore, discover, and share the wonders of nature with you.

In their own words

What people who have been out in the field with Roger say about it.

NatureTrek-Western Panama Tour

Roger [our guide] was very impressive with good eyes and ears and a wide knowledge of all the wildlife. The accommodation was excellent and in beautiful, bird-rich areas. The trip was very varied with mountains, lowlands and islands and we saw a number of species which I have struggled to see elsewhere.
