Jerry Arend
Tour Guide
Jerry offer Intercultura students excursions all over the country. He is from Costa Rica and has been involved in tourism his whole life. He likes working as part of the school team, and values the human contact and professionalism of his coworkers and students alike. The enthusiasm of the students and the interpersonal contact with them, as well as the chance to learn about different cultures and his own country, are what attracted him to working in tourism.
“Jerry is amazingly patient and knowledgeable about Costa Rica. He makes tours fun and interesting, and we have had him as our guide every time we’ve studied here since we started coming over 15 years ago. I highly recommend him for any destination in the country.” – ACIS group, 2023
