Arlet Quirós Calvo

Arlet Quirós Calvo is a biologist and naturalist with a passion for wildlife, storytelling, and guiding. Born and raised in Los Santos, Costa Rica and now living on the Osa Peninsula, Arlet blends science, nature, and human connection in her tours, crafting unforgettable experiences for travelers. With a master’s degree in natural resources management focused on biodiversity, she is dedicated to helping others deepen their connection to the natural world. When asked about her most memorable wildlife encounter, Arlet recalls watching a puma stalk a white-faced capuchin monkey—an experience that taught her the value of patience, a principle she applies both in her guiding and in life. When she’s not leading tours, you’ll find Arlet running, biking, or cooking something delicious. If she weren’t a guide, she’d consider a career as a yoga teacher, flight attendant, or full-time farmer.
