Everything incredible!!! Really great logistics. I am a true lover of photography and I recommend this unbeatable opportunity to get closer to nature.

Our wish was to photograph various wildlife (birds, mammals, reptiles, insects) in Costa Rica during three weeks. We quickly gave up organizing this ourselves. But we didn’t want a group trip. We found the perfect solution with Andy Bezara from Physis Photo Tours.

He has organized a wonderful photo trip for the two of us, off the beaten path. Andy was by our side the whole time and made sure we could fully enjoy every moment and we didn’t have to worry about anything. And thanks to his network of local guides, we had countless wonderful photo subjects.

Thank you Andy, it was awesome.

This was my first trip with Physis Photo Tours, and it won’t be my last. Andy and his team were like a well-oiled machine, getting us up close to wildlife without disturbing it. The highlight for me? Photographing not one, but four species of toucans! I never thought I’d get shots like these, and I owe it all to the team’s expertise. Costa Rica is absolutely magical. Nacho – Nicetyphoto

I’m not a pro photographer, so I was worried I’d feel out of place, but Andy and the guides made sure everyone felt welcome. The session with frogs and snakes was unlike anything I’ve ever done—I was nervous but ended up with some of my favorite shots from the trip. I left feeling more confident in my photography and more connected to nature. Thank you for making this such a special experience.

I had a wonderful experience with the services offered by Physis and would recommend them to anyone interested in photography and visiting Costa Rica.

In November 2024, my husband and I had the pleasure of having Andy Bezara from Physis Photo Tours as our private guide throughout our time in Costa Rica, and the experience was absolutely phenomenal. As a travel and wildlife photographer, I was thrilled with the locations we visited, while my husband, who enjoys photography as a hobby, found the experience equally rewarding.

Andy guided us through diverse and stunning areas, including Boca Tapada, Sarapiquí, Heredia, San Gerardo de Dota and parts of San Jose. He was punctual, well-prepared, and always prioritized safety, especially when photographing wildlife. His friendly and approachable nature, combined with his deep knowledge of the region, made the experience both enjoyable and highly educational.

Having a private tour with just the two of us made it even more special. Andy ensured we had the best opportunities to capture Costa Rica’s breathtaking wildlife and landscapes. His passion for photography and nature shone through every moment, and the locations he selected were absolutely perfect.

My husband and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Andy again. Highly recommended for photographers of all levels looking for a safe, professional, and unforgettable private experience in Costa Rica.

Thank you very much for the phenomenal journey in November 2025! Over the course of three weeks, we enjoyed outstanding experiences and sightings without a single critical situation. The support and guidance were consistently friendly and highly professional; accommodation and catering were authentic to the country, solid yet comfortable.

Our private small-group tour (6 participants) was a complete success, with well over 200 species observed, including approximately 180 bird species—various hummingbirds, quetzals, kingfishers, jabirus, motmots, owls, raptors, resident and migratory birds, and much more—as well as bats, reptiles and frogs, coatis, sloths, tapirs, and egg-laying turtles.
For each day, Andy had organized one to two highlights—all of them exciting, regardless of whether it rained or not.

We relaxed thoroughly and returned home with many thousands of photographs, some of them truly spectacular. When we look at the best of these again and again, we relive the journey and continue to rave about Costa Rica.

We can highly recommend traveling with Physis and tour guide Andy Bezara—it was outstanding.
