Day 1
Our local expert and our entire team will be waiting for you at the airport and we will take you to the hotel. At night we will share the welcome dinner with the entire group that will be accompanying us on this wonderful trip.
Day 2
After breakfast, we check out the hotel and head to one of the most beautiful areas of Costa Rica. On the way, we will visit Cartago, the ancient capital of the country.
In the afternoon, we will have a bird photography session. The area is known for its lush vegetation and abundance of wildlife, making it an ideal spot for bird photography. From the endemic Resplendent Quetzal to the colorful tanager and the tiny hummingbird, there’s something for everyone
Day 3
Today we have two different sessions. In the morning, we will look for the Resplendent Quetzal. The Resplendent Quetzal is one of the most iconic birds of Costa Rica and the world. It is a species of trogon and is famous for its impressively colored plumage and long tail feathers. A bird photo shoot with this magnificent creature is a once in a lifetime experience.
After lunch, we have a hummingbird photo session. These little birds are truly a sight to behold. With their brightly colored feathers, they can be seen flitting from flower to flower, drinking nectar and foraging for food. They are so small and delicate that it almost looks like they could disappear in an instant. That is why a photo session with these incredible birds is so special.
Day 4
After breakfast and check out, we headed back to San Jose, but not before visiting the Orosi Valley. At Hotel Quelitales more than 200 birds have been identified, so this will be another great opportunity to see new species of birds such as ighland tinamou, scaled antpitta, ochre-breasted antpitta, black-bellied hummingbird, green-fronted lancebill, coppery-headed emerald, cabanis’s ground-sparrow, barred parakeet
Day 5
Today we continue our trip to the Sarapiqui area. We will pass through Braulio Carrillo, one of the most impressive national parks. In this session, we will be able to photograph the emerald toucan, the beautiful motmot, among others. The evergreen landscapes of the area will impress you.
Day 6
Today we will visit a business operated by a beautiful Costa Rican family. On the property, we will be able to take photos of more than 20 species of birds such as the woodpecker, the red-legged honeycreeper, toucans, tanagers, hummingbirds, among others.
Day 7
In the morning, we will be able to take photos of the Savegre River, the exuberant vegetation of the property, and many birds and animals will come to have breakfast with us such as keel-billed toucans, great green macaws, wood thrushes, gray-necked wood rails, sun bitterns and violet crowned woodnymph. Then, we continue towards Boca Tapada. At night, and in the middle of darkness, we will have a spectacular bat photography session
Day 8
Crocodiles, howler monkeys, and birds such as the tiger heron, great blue, and kingfisher will be some of the species that we will see on this boat tour on the San Carlos river. The natural landscapes are truly impressive.
Day 9
In our last session, we dedicated it to the King Vulture. This big, powerful, and beautiful bird will fill the lens of your camera and make you sigh
Day 10
After having shared this trip together and having lived so many unique moments and experiences, we will take you to the airport.
