Costa Rica Rainforest Photo Tour With Richard Camp and Brian Leary
Photographers Richard Camp and Brian Leary invite you to experience photography in the vast rainforest of the Osa Peninsula. Home to half of all species of flora and fauna in Costa Rica, it contains a mind-blowing 2.5% of the planet’s biodiversity. We’ll encounter a stunning array of wildlife, including exotic birds, reptiles, and four species of monkeys. The Crocodile Bay area is the perfect location to base ourselves to maximize photographic opportunities. More than access to wildlife, we’ll be teaching the how and why behind our approach to getting creative shots and photo processing tutorials using Lightroom or Capture One.
It’s going to be a lifetime experience you’ll never forget.
Trip cost: $5975 – Double Occupancy
Includes internal airfare
Single supplement $850
Non-photographer rate $3500 – Double Occupancy
We’ll stay at the new Botánika Osa Peninsula, a Curio by Hiilton resort in Puerto Jimenez. Having a comfortable air-conditioned base camp with all the amenities of a 4-star hotel makes it easy to settle in for the week, get great shots during the day, and relax when we return, with fantastic cuisine waiting for us each evening.
Our daily excursions provide the application of multiple styles and techniques of wildlife photography with different photo opportunities:
-
Diverse wildlife is steps from your room on the hotel grounds.
-
A tour into the Southern end of the Osa to encounter monkeys, macaws, and other species of birds
-
A drive deeper into the Osa to photograph poison dart frogs, reptiles, and snake species, including eyelash vipers.
-
A trip to a sloth reserve. Usually found high up in trees out of reach of most telephoto lenses, we’ll seek opportunities to photograph them much closer.
-
A boat excursion on the Sierpe River that takes us along the banks of mangroves to photograph crocs, iguanas, and more monkeys
-
A visit to a chocolate finca (farm) to grind our chocolate beans, photograph new cultural perspectives, and more wildlife living on the farm.
-
An open day to work one-on-one with our lead photographers, Richard Camp and Brian Leary
This is a 9-day, 8-night tour originating in San Jose (SJO), Costa Rica. Please take a look at the itinerary here. Get yourself to San Jose, and we’ll handle the rest.
