Home to 5% of the world’s biodiversity, Costa Rica offers photographers an incredible variety of wildlife, from sloths and monkeys to macaws and red-eyed tree frogs. In most areas, animals are very accustomed to human presence, allowing for intimate and natural behavior shots. Bird photography here is arguably the best in the world and subjects include vibrant toucans, scarlet macaws, hummingbirds, and honeycreepers and resplendent quetzals. The country’s compact size makes it easy to explore an array of ecosystems, including lush rainforests, cloud forests, and coastal mangroves, all in a single trip.
Our team has an exclusive partnership with the world’s leading sloth expert to find and photograph sloths in Costa Rica, as well as an incredible team of cotton-top tamarin researchers and conservationists in Colombia.
Accommodations include luxurious eco-lodges with bungalows overlooking the ocean, cozy mountain lodges in the cloud forest and Caribbean- style boutique hotels on the beach.
