Logistics
During our visit, we will be staying at some of the top rated, friendliest and most accommodating eco-lodges in all of Costa Rica. We have personally selected each location based on the photographic opportunities available, comfort, cleanliness and safety.
We will also take at least one “all day field trip” away from each lodge that we stay at, to visit other locations where we will experience even more amazing and unique photographic opportunities.
