COSTA RICA PHOTO TOUR AND WORKSHOP
This 7 night Costa Rica tour will take you to 3 diverse regions in the heart of Costa Rica. The first stop is Sarapiqui, where we’ll spend two nights and enjoy an immersive lodge experience at Pierella Gardens.
We’ll tour two spectacular eco-parks: La Selva and Tirimbina. They have amazing trails, hanging bridges, and are home to hundreds of endemic birds. We’ll enjoy night tours and search for the beautiful King Vulture. We’ll 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’ll enjoy guided tours at Carara National park, photograph birds from the beach, like 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 could 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’ll explore the Quetzales National park and take a couple of tours in hopes to find, observe and photograph Quetzales in their natural habitat.
My goal is to have everyone come home with images they are proud to share and some good enough for printing and hanging on the wall or selling. Everyone will have a different level of photography experience, and some may not want any help, while others will need a lot. Because of this, there will not be a formal “classroom setting”. Instead, I will work closely with anyone that wants my help 1-2-1 or in small groups. I’ll also be checking in with everyone during the day to see how you’re doing and answer questions or make suggestions. The first morning I will do a group overview of things worth knowing during the trip to prompt questions and make some recommendations on settings and techniques that will be helpful. After that we’ll have optional group Q&A sessions during our drives and in between scheduled activities. I will also do an optional tutorial on post-processing using Lightroom Classic. The information can be transferrable to other software, so it’ll be helpful for everyone.
