THE RAINFORESTS OF COSTA RICA

WITH NAT GEO PHOTOGRAPHER MATTIAS KLUM

Costa Rica is a nature photographer’s paradise with beautiful national parks, an abundance of birds and animals, rainforests, volcanoes, and a biodiversity that surpasses most places. I have been there several times on various assignments and always returned home with fantastic experiences and loads of photos.

Mattias Klum

Join us in Costa Rica, a tropical paradise for photographers, under the guidance of Mattias Klum, a National Geographic photographer and one of the world’s most respected photographers specializing in nature, environment, and endangered species.

DESTINATION

PLACES WE VISIT

COSTA RICA

Costa Rica ligger i Centralamerika och angränsar till Nicaragua, Panama, Stilla Havet och Karibiska Havet och är till ytan nästan lika stort som Svealand. I huvudstaden San José bor cirka en tredjedel av landets 4,2 miljoner invånare.

Klimatet i Costa Rica är subtropiskt och tropiskt i låglandet men något kallare i de centrala högländerna. Landet har två årstider; regn- och torrperioder. Regnperioden varar från maj till november, något som ofta orsakar översvämningar i låglandet. Torrperioden varar oftast mellan december och april. Temperaturen i Costa Ricas lågland ligger kring 20-30 grader med mindre variationer beroende på årstiden. Costa Rica är hem för en stor mångfald av växter och djur.

Trots att landet endast upptar 0,1 % av världens totala landmassa uppgår den biologiska mångfalden till hela 5 % av världens djur och växter, motsvarande mellan 500 000 och en miljon olika arter. Däribland 50 000 olika arter av insekter, 208 olika djurarter, 850 fågelarter och lite drygt 200 reptilarter, varav ungefär hälften är ormar. Hela 27 % av Costa Ricas yta är avsatt för nationalparker, naturreservat och naturskyddsområden.

TORTUGUERO NATIONAL PARK

The name Tortuguero, which can be translated to “full of turtles,” is home to spider, howler, and capuchin monkeys, the three-toed sloth, 320 bird species, and a variety of reptiles. Tortuguero offers an incredible diversity, including rainforests, swamps, lagoons, beaches, and rivers, all in a delightful tropical climate. The deep jungle extends into a vast canal landscape that empties into the Caribbean Sea. However, the giant turtles are the park’s main attraction. On the beaches around Tortuguero, four different species of turtles lay their eggs each year between July and September, among them the green sea turtle, the critically endangered hawksbill turtle, and the world’s largest turtle—the leatherback sea turtle.

PIEDRAS BLANCAS NATIONAL PARK

Piedras Blancas, with a land area of 15,147 hectares and 1,200 hectares of marine area, protects part of the lowland tropical rainforest. Although all five of Costa Rica’s cat species—ocelot, margay, jaguarundi, puma, and jaguar—live here, they are very difficult to spot. The park offers much more, such as kinkajous, two-toed sloths, coatis, anteaters, as well as capuchin and spider monkeys with their white faces, and many different bats. The park also attracts a lot of birdlife and is considered one of the country’s best bird-watching spots, with toucans, scarlet macaws, crested caracaras, kingfishers, boat-billed herons, flycatchers, and yellow-cheeked Amazons. Snakes are abundant, from the deadly fer-de-lance to coral snakes and large boas. There are also numerous types of frogs, such as tree frogs, poison dart frogs, rain frogs, glass frogs, and many others. The waterways are also rich with caimans.

SAN SERARDO FOREST RESERVE

San Gerardo Forest Reserve is located in the Talamanca mountain range. At an elevation of 2,200 meters, San Gerardo offers fresh and clean air, lush green rainforest, and incredible biodiversity. Nestled in the Savegre River valley, San Gerardo has managed to remain relatively secret. San Gerardo is renowned for its birds, with the highest likelihood of spotting the beautiful quetzal in all of Costa Rica. However, the park also hosts many other species, such as emerald toucanets, golden-browed chlorophonias, and tanagers. The area, with its great biodiversity, is also home to sloths and monkeys.

ITINERARY

23 APRIL – 2 MAY, 2025

Mattias who has been to Costa Rica many times, will to hold lectures on topics such as species conservation and human impact on nature. On several evenings, we will also review and evaluate each other’s photos. We will also work on photo editing and discuss everything from camera techniques, equipment details, composition, and lighting to timing in photography sessions and how to build a story in both words and images. There will also be time for personal conversations where you and Mattias go through your own photos. The exact days for all these activities will depend on the weather and other local conditions.

DAY 1, (April 23) – WELCOME TO COSTA RICA
Check-in during the afternoon and evening at the first-class Doubletree Cariari Hotel located near the airport. Here, you will be welcomed by Mattias and Zoom Photoresor’s tour guide David Iglesias. Since most flights from Europe arrive late in the afternoon or evening, and considering the time difference, this evening will be a casual gathering in the hotel bar for those who wish to join.

DAY 2, (April 24) – SAN JOSE – TORTUGUERO NATIONAL PARK
In the morning, after check-out, we will take a bus to Pavona or Caño Blanco where we will board a boat for a 1 ½ hour boat trip along the canals towards Tortuguero National Park. Upon arrival at Aninga Lodge, lunch will be served followed by check-in.

During the afternoon, we will take our first photo walk in the lodge’s surroundings and experience the incredible nature and wildlife around this lodge. During the walk, we will be surrounded by a lush green forest with a variety of plants and animals. This tropical forest has the greatest biological diversity in the country. Here, you can find everything from caimans, wild cats, howler monkeys, spider monkeys, two-toed sloths, three-toed sloths, raccoons, toucans, aracaris, and macaws.

After dinner, we will also take a night walk where nocturnal animals come out to search for food. During the walk, our nature guide will tell us about the animals we may encounter, such as bird-eating spiders, bats, night butterflies, crickets, sloths, hedgehogs, and some nocturnal birds. Therefore, we recommend that you bring a flashlight. (F, L, M)

DAY 3, (April 25) – TORTUGUERO NATIONAL PARK
Early in the morning, we will take a boat ride along the canals in Tortuguero National Park to experience the sunrise and capture the rainforest animals in the soft morning light.

Back at the hotel, a late breakfast will be served followed by time for photo editing or perhaps some relaxation by the hotel’s pool. In the afternoon, we will take another tour along Tortuguero’s canals. The park has a great biodiversity with no less than 11 biological environments including rainforest, mangrove forest, swamp, beaches, and lagoons.

As the park is located in a tropical climate with no less than 6,400 mm of rain per year, the humidity is high. Tortuguero is home to, among others, spider monkeys, howler monkeys, capuchin monkeys, sloths, jaguars, caimans, 320 bird species, and a variety of reptiles. (F, L, M)

DAY 4, (April 26) – TORTUGUERO NATIONAL PARK – SAN GERARDO
After an early tour on the canals, followed by breakfast and check-out, we will begin the journey back to Pavona or Caño where our bus awaits for the trip to San Gerardo. Along the way, we will make a stop to photograph flying hummingbirds. We will do this at a feeding station where you have the opportunity to capture these very fast birds when they are practically “standing still” in the air at the small bird table with food. On a platform, you can set up your tripod and work with different shutter speeds, from short shutter speeds where you freeze the wings to long times where you get motion blur on the wings.

After photographing this for a few hours, we will continue to San Gerardo where we will check in at Savegre Hotel. Dinner in the evening. (F, L, M)

DAY 5, (April 27) – SAN GERARDO – NICUESA RAINFOREST LODGE
Early in the morning, we go on a hike in San Gerardo Forest Reserve which offers more than 170 different bird species. With the help of skilled nature guides, we walk through the dense vegetation in search of the beautiful quetzal, which with its green head, red breast, and long, shimmering turquoise tail is one of Costa Rica’s most beautiful birds. We listen for their deep, melodic calls as we silently track these elusive birds. But here, there is also a wide range of other bird species, such as emerald toucans, golden-browed chlorophonias, and tanagers among many others. Just like the other photo sessions out in the field, Mattias will be there to provide tips and personal guidance. He will also share his extensive knowledge of the surrounding nature and the rich wildlife.

Our journey then continues to the small town of Golfito. where we stop for lunch. After this, we take a boat to our hotel Playa Nicuesa Rainforest Lodge. This is a luxurious eco-lodge in Piedras Blancas National Park on the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. The lodge is surrounded by tropical rainforest and pristine beaches and is only accessible by boat. In the late afternoon, we check in at the lodge which will be our base for the next few days.

We end the day with a good dinner while enjoying the sounds of the rainforest. (F, L, M)

DAYS 6-9, (April 28-May 1) – PLAYA NICUESA RAINFOREST
During these days, we will explore the rainforest in Piedras Blancas National Park and photograph all its animals, birds, insects, and reptiles both during the day and during night walks.

The lodge is located more or less in the dense rainforest and is a paradise for photographers. Here, you have the opportunity to capture everything from colorful parrots such as scarlet macaws and yellow-cheeked Amazons to toucans and blue-naped parrots. But here, there are also reptiles like the highly poisonous snakes, boa constrictors, helmeted basilisk lizards, glass frogs, poison dart frogs, and mammals like howler monkeys, spider monkeys, coatis, sloths, and agoutis. In the park, there are also thousands of beautiful insects and colorful butterflies.

In the evenings, we go on night walks, work on photo editing, and listen to Mattias’ fantastic stories from the many assignments he has done in Costa Rica.

On the last evening, we will have a nice farewell dinner where Mattias summarizes the days together in Costa Rica. (F, L, M)
