costa rica photo cr
Costa Rica is a photographers paradise, and a way of life. The people are friendly and the Ticos (as they call themselves) live the "Pura Vida".
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 spectacular locations rarely seen by tourists. Most destinations will be in the Southern Pacific Osa district. Probably the greatest "jungle" area in all of Costa Rica which National Geographic describes as "the region with the greatest bio-diversity in the world".
You will photograph Volcan Arenal in the daytime and also in the evening hoping for spectacular night time eruptions, as well as visiting the sun drenched beaches of Playa Ventanas and Ballena National Park for spectacular Pacific sunsets. No trip to Costa Rica would be complete without the opportunity of photographing the wild and beautiful Osa Peninsula.
It is almost a world of its own. Here the White-faced Capuchin Monkeys abound and Scarlet Macaws feed in the treetops.
After arriving in Costa Rica and before starting out on your photographic adventure you will be introduced to the sights and sounds of San Jose, the capital city. Avenida Central, Mercado Central, and the Teatro Nacional will be in sharp contrast to the laid back attitude of the countryside where "Hola" begins every greeting.
This photo tour will be of interest to anyone with a love of photography and a desire to experience nature first hand. Bring a lot of film because there is something wonderful and different at every turn.
The group will be kept small so that each person will get personal attention. Our goal is to photograph both the natural and cultural beauty of Costa Rica and to learn its fascinating ecological story.

costa rica photo history
costa rica photo history The region was a potpourri of distinct cultures divided into chiefdoms. In the east along the Caribbean seaboard and along the southern Pacific shores, the peoples shared distinctly South American cultural traits. These groups--the Caribs on the Caribbean and the Borucas, Chibchas, and Diquis in the southwest--were semi-nomadic hunters and fishermen who raised yucca, squash, pejibaye (bright orange palm fruits), and tubers supplemented by crustaceans, shrimp, lobster, and game; chewed coca; and lived in communal village huts surrounded by fortified palisades. The matriarchal Chibchas and Diquis had a highly developed slave system and were accomplished goldsmiths. Amulets, awls, tweezers for plucking out facial hair, beads and baubles, pendants and religious icons decorated in fantastical animist imagery were among the many items of gold expertly worked through the "lost wax" technique

If you’re wondering why anyone would use their vacation time and actually pay to tromp around in the hot humid rainforest, I hope my pictures can explain why it was worth every exhausting, muddy, sweaty moment. It’s truly a unique experience to wake up every morning and see some new animal, plant, or insect that you’ve never seen before – not even in books, magazines, or on TV. It’s like being a kid again.
