Randy
I am Randy Quirós, a bachelor in Ecological Tourism from the University of Costa Rica. I live in Portalón and have extensive experience in the tourism industry, including working with tour operators, reservations, and customer service in hospitality in Guanacaste, as well as experience assisting cruise ship visitors in Roatán, Honduras.
My passion for soccer comes alive both on the field as a player and as a devoted fan.
Nowadays, I cherish simple and special moments, such as a walk through the forest, spending time at the beach with my daughter, enjoying an ice cream, or sharing a good conversation and meal with family or friends.
Heriberto
My name is Heriberto Vega. I was born and raised in the Quepos area and attended the Portalón Elementary School by Portasol and Matapalo High School, where I graduated with a certificate in hotel tourism.
I consider myself a nature lover. I like beaches, rivers, waterfalls, and caring for animals. I also enjoy road and mountain biking.
For more than 15 years, I have worked in tourism and at Portasol since 2017. I strive to provide excellent customer service, whether solving issues or giving information, so everyone visiting Portasol has the best possible experience.
Diego
My name is Diego Delgado Navarro. I graduated from Costa Rica’s National University with a bachelor’s degree in Sustainable Tourism Business Management and am pursuing a business administration career.
I like to be respectful, humble, responsible, and positive, and I always seek to be and do better. I started working when I was very young, focusing on my studies to achieve my goals.
In my free time, I like going to the beach, running in the afternoons, being in nature, playing soccer, and spending time with my loved ones, especially my mother, who has been my greatest support.
Guillermo
I am Guillermo Piedra. Originally from Cartago, I have an MBA in international trade. I worked for 12 years in the manufacturing industry, managing a shirt factory with 450 employees that produced and exported 75,000 shirts a week. I got into real estate development and tourism in 2002 with my family’s land, creating Portasol.
I enjoy spending time with my family, sharing special occasions and social evenings together, and discovering new places. A self-described “foodie,” I love to cook and enjoy great meals with friends and family. I also enjoy working out at the gym and running at sunrise at Matapalo Beach or Playa Linda.
Luis
My name is Luis Elizondo. I am a graduate in Secretarial Techniques from Liceo UNESCO, a bilingual graduate of the Language Center at the National University, and certified in Digital Marketing and Audiovisual Production courses from TEC–Costa Rica.
I am currently pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration at Universidad Internacional San Isidro Labrador.
At the age of 19, I started an automotive detailing business. Through this and other jobs, combined with a strong desire for self-improvement, I supported my development in various areas. In 2022, I joined the Portasol team, where from the very first moment they trusted in my potential, and day by day I continue to grow both personally and professionally.
I am passionate about motorsports in all its forms. I learned to drive when I was eight years old, and since then, it has become my greatest passion.
