Federico Munoz of Costa Rica is the founder of Finca Terra Viva, a campus in Monteverde that combines education, conservation, and agro-ecology.

He received his master’s degree from the University of Costa Rica, where he later taught, and is now a leading herpetologist and author of the Complete Field Guide for Amphibians and Reptiles of Costa Rica. For Wilderness Travel, he guides in Costa Rica and Belize and helped us created our wonderful Belize program. “In Belize, I am always fascinated by the awesome coral reefs, the Maya ruins, and the rainforest, all so close together. At Monteverde in Costa Rica, I love introducing people to its off-the-beaten-path trails. There are so many things to see there that turn the experience into one that combines spirituality and facts for the brain.”

Client Testimonials:
Federico Munoz is wonderful. His knowledge of the area and its wildlife was astounding. I was particularly impressed when he called a quetzal and it actually came. He went way beyond the call of duty when dealing with participants, and even volunteered his ranch as the setting for the wedding of two trip members. I would follow him anywhere.Pamela Reaville, Costa Rica Wildlife
