About this experience

I am a Naturalist Guide and Wildlife Photographer with up to 7 years of experience in the field chasing birds all over Costa Rica. During the past years I have been able to learn about the bird behaviors and how to photograph these amazing creatures. This tour is made for all levels of photographers, if you need help with camera settings or just how to move in the field in order to maximize the chance of getting beautiful photos.
Don't think twice and check availability for this specialized photography tour where we will visit various places looking for the specialties present in the area like the Resplendent Quetzal, Three-wattled Bellbird, Long-tailed Manakin, Lesson's Motmot, Emerald Toucanet and various species of hummingbirds.
A private tour of 5 h(short break for drink/snack) where we will explore quite roads and private properties avoiding CROWDS and having more photo opportunities.
Book now! I'll be more than happy to meet you and help you out with the birds of Monteverde.
