Tracie Stice
Biologist Tracie Stice,
also known as "The Bug Lady," has been exploring the
rainforest of the Osa Peninsula for nearly thirteen years. After
receiving her Bachelor of Science in Biology, with an emphasis in
Entomology, Tracie moved to Drake Bay
to pursue her passion for tropical insects and spiders.
In 1997 she created The
Night Tour, which quickly became one of the most popular tours in Drake
Bay. The Night Tour has been hailed by Lonely Planet, Frommers,
and Foders as one of the most fascinating excursions in Drake Bay. Tracie has been featured in numerous books, magazine and
newspaper articles, as well as television. Currently,
Tracie is working with her husband Gianfranco Gomez on a book and DVD
project .
Gianfranco Gomez
Costa Rican naturalist
and nature photographer Gianfranco Gomez has traveled the
globe, living and working in many countries. Prior to
relocating to Drake Bay in late 2002, Gian guided adventure tours in the
rainforest canopy of Rincon de La Vieja. Gian is an avid
birder, with a keen interest in tropical herpetology, as well.
In 2003, he began
working on a photographic compilation of the nocturnal
wildlife of Drake Bay. Much of Gian's work is soon to be
published in DVD format. Gian and Tracie were married in 2005.
Together, they continue to work on documenting the nocturnal
wildlife of Costa Rica, as well as guiding The Night Tour.
