Meet the Team
Paco León
Resident BiologistRecognizing guests by name is a pillar of Four Seasons anticipatory service. Francisco Javier León González, better known as “Paco,” manages it just fine, though as our resident biologist, his focus is more on arrivals with four legs, feathers and fins. Paco and his team will lead guests through the reserve, opening eyes to animal tracks, ears to calls and birdsongs, and noses to the scents of flowers. Ask him anything about the reserve’s reptiles, birds, mammals, or the more than 70 endemic species of flora and fauna. If you catch Paco at his desk (a rare scene), you might have a look at his “jar of creatures” – a collection he’s been nurturing since he landed in Tamarindo.
“Our mission is to share nature in order to protect nature – helping future generations learn how to ‘rewild’ the land to preserve all the endemic fauna, flora and animal species.”
