2018 Costa Rica Tour: March 4 – 12, 2018
I’ll be returning to one of my favorite wildlife tour destinations in 2018: Costa Rica!
The Quetzals to Corcovado tour is a popular trip that features the very best of Costa Rican wildlife. As we explore the roads and trails of the tropical rainforest we’ll encounter colorful birds, unique jungle mammals and even find some creepy crawlies to photograph.
Those who are really adventurous may join me on the extension to Corcovado National Park, the best place in the entire country for wildlife.
Brazil Jaguars and Wildlife: July or August, 2018
I will be scouting a new tour later this year in Brazil’s Pantanal. This is the premier place to photograph wild jaguars, and also offers numerous other wildlife photo opportunities.
Some of the fascinating tropical species we’ll seek out include the giant river otter (right), giant anteater, tapir, capybara, caiman and numerous birds and other fauna.
The 2018 tour will take place in either July or August and is limited to 6 guests.
