This 8-night Costa Rica photo tour and workshop will take you to 3 diverse regions in the heart of the country. The first stop is Sarapiqui, where we will spend two nights and enjoy an immersive lodge experience at Pierella Gardens.
We will tour two spectacular eco-parks: La Selva and Tirimbina. They offer amazing trails and hanging bridges and are home to hundreds of endemic birds. We will enjoy night tours and search for the beautiful King Vulture.
We will spend the next two nights at a beautiful Cerro lodge in Tarcoles. The lodge grounds provide amazing views and trails to explore the flora, birds, monkeys and other creatures. While there, we will enjoy guided tours at Carara National Park, photograph birds from the beach, such as scarlet macaws, storks and frigatebirds, as they fly to their nest at sunset, and take a private river boat tour.
Our final stop will be two nights in the cloud forest of San Gerardo de Dota, a known hangout for the Resplendent Quetzal. At an elevation of almost 8,000 ft., the mountain range and frequent climate changes are simply breathtaking. We will explore the Quetzales National Park and take a couple of tours in hopes of finding, observing and photographing Quetzales in their natural habitat.
