NEW TRIP: Ultimate Costa Rica: Osa Peninsula & Quetzals

Costa Rica is one of the absolute best places on the planet for wildlife photography. With countless species to choose from, a larger percentage of protected land than any other country on earth, and pristine wilderness environments teaming with wildlife subjects, Costa Rica simply can't be beat.

After over a decade of leading photographers through the steamy jungles and misty cloud forests of Costa Rica, we’re beyond excited to finally unveil a trip we’ve been dreaming about for years…

Introducing our brand-new 'Ultimate Costa Rica: Osa Peninsula & Quetzals' photography workshop — a once-in-a-lifetime photography adventure that blends the very best of Costa Rica into one powerful, all-inclusive experience.

This isn’t just a new workshop. It’s the result of 10+ years of hands-on experience, scouting locations, closely observing species behavior, finding ideal timing and light, and listening to what photographers love most about Costa Rica. We’ve taken all of it and created one master itinerary that brings together the country’s two crown jewels for wildlife photography: 

• The mystical cloud forests, home to the legendary Resplendent Quetzal

• The untamed jungles of the Osa Peninsula, one of the most biologically intense places on the planet

Why This Trip is Special

If you’ve ever dreamed of photographing tropical birds in golden light, sloths hanging from rainforest vines, red-eyed tree frogs perched on vibrant foliage, or monkeys leaping through the jungle canopy—this is your chance to do it all in one epic adventure.

Trip Highlights:

• Photograph the Resplendent Quetzal, with exclusive access to premium birding blinds and expert local guides in one of Costa Rica’s premier birding hotspots.

• Explore the Osa Peninsula, where you’ll encounter all four native monkey species, Scarlet Macaws, poison dart frogs, sloths, toucans, and so much more—with chances for macro and low-light photography sessions built into the itinerary.

• Level up your skills with hands-on instruction and daily opportunities to refine your technique in one of the world’s most visually rich environments.

• All-inclusive comfort: Stay at handpicked eco-lodges and boutique hotels with fantastic food, exceptional wildlife access, and zero logistics to worry about. Just bring your gear—we’ll handle the rest.

Who This Trip Is For

This is the perfect trip for passionate wildlife photographers of all skill levels and backgrounds who want to go deeper, get off the beaten path, and chase moments that most people never get to see—let alone capture on camera.

With just 8 guests per trip, it’s an intimate experience built around education, instruction, patience, preparation, and maximizing light and wildlife opportunities.

Whether you’re an experienced shooter or just getting serious about your wildlife work, this workshop is designed to deliver high-impact results while keeping things fun, flexible, and inspiring.
