Costa Rica Photo Tour: Quetzals to Corcovado
February 21 - March 1, 2014

I'm proud to announce the return of my "Quetzals to Corcovado" photo tour! This 2014 tour will bring us face to face with some of Costa Rica's amazing species. We'll visit the resplendent quetzal–one of the world's most spectacular birds–during its nesting season in the central highland cloud forests. Then we'll descend to the Pacific lowlands, exploring the rich biodiversity of Costa Rica's coastal jungles and rivers. The trip includes an optional extension to Corcovado National Park, the best place for wildlife in all of Costa Rica!
