Meet Your Guides : Pablo Rodriguez & Sergio Sanchez

Pablo and Sergio have spent years exploring Costa Rica’s most remote trails—building routes, friendships, and a safety-first system that lets you push your limits while feeling looked after.

Pablo — Expedition Lead & Nomatrail Co-Founder
“Costa Rica is my homeland, and this expedition explores the places that shaped its wild soul. This route was born from years of scouting these remote trails with Sergio and earning the trust of families deep in the jungle. It’s one-of-a-kind, and I can’t wait to share it with you.”

Sergio — Head Coach & Local Guide
“¡Pura Vida! What began as a friendly challenge became an epic journey. As a trail-running coach and Costa Rican native, I love teaching the technical skills this terrain demands as much as sharing our culture. It’s tough—authentic, immersive, and truly life-changing.”
