Costa Rica Wildlife Photography Workshops

The Adventure Of A Lifetime! This once-in-a-lifetime photo workshop will take place on Costa Rica’s beautiful Osa Peninsula, a location National Geographic calls, “The most biologically intense place on Earth.” An impressive claim, but just a few hours on site is enough to make a believer out of any skeptic. In fact, I think the National Geographic statement may not do it justice!

And now for something completely different, a Costa Rica Wildlife Photo Tour. I am guiding two separate workshops in Costa Rica, hosted in early May and in late July 2022. Each of the workshops is identical in schedule, so please choose which one fits your schedule the best. I love to teach photography and Costa Rica is a wonderful location that is closer to home than Africa to make that happen. Costa Rica is a paradise in many ways: its wildlife, jungles, beaches and interior. Simply put it is one of the most biologically diverse locations on our planet and is very easy to get there.

We have been taking photographers to Costa Rica for over ten years as well as other locations around the world. The Osa is a special place to experience uniqueness in the raw. Unspoiled and exciting with new adventures every day to see wildlife species that are often not seen elsewhere in the country. Not only is the location special but also is the resort that provides special attention to serve the needs of the photographer. Come join us on a photographic trip that will make you want to come back!

If you would like to travel to the beautiful rain forest of Costa Rica, and have a lot of fun in the process, you need to join me for this exciting photo tour. We travel to Central America for 8 nights to photograph some of the most colorful and exciting animals. We will get you up close to the birds, monkeys, tree frogs and give you a true taste of the Costa Rican culture on the unspoiled Osa Peninsula. If you have seen any of my photography presentations, you know that I always make it fun to learn. It does not matter if you are new to photography or a trained professional, we will accommodate you to make sure you are getting amazing photos and having a great time. Come and join us for an amazing experience, not only through the lens, but through your eyes as well.

Get ready for the photography adventure of a lifetime as we traverse a vast and varied ecosystem crawling with an amazing array of wildlife. From incredible, brightly colored, iridescent hummingbirds buzzing through intoxicating fragrant flowers to troops of monkeys hanging from bamboo shoots by their prehensile tails. And think about this for a second, all of this is happening right outside your window but there is so much more to see and photograph. Onward we must go!
