Costa Rica is a photographer's paradise and a way of life. Picture yourself…at an active volcano, in the glow of the setting sun, by the pounding surf, above the tree canopy, standing on a lava flow, beside a dramatic waterfall, on a secluded beach…just you and your camera.
Travel to locations rarely seen by tourists. You will be introduced to the sights and sounds of San Jose, the capital city, and photograph Volcan Arenal, the sun-drenched beaches of Playa Ventanas and Carate, and the wild and beautiful Osa Peninsula, where white-faced Capuchin Monkeys abound and Scarlet Macaws feed in the treetops. The small group size ensures that each person receives personal attention. Our goal is to photograph both the natural and cultural beauty of Costa Rica and to learn its fascinating ecological story.
