Trip Report: Wildlife Images of Costa Rica
by Ben Blankenship
I thought I’d share some images from my recent trip to Costa Rica. These photographs depict the many and varied species of wildlife that can be found on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. Coined by National Geographic as one of the most biologically intense places on the planet – the wildlife viewing opportunities here are outstanding. Photography in the dark jungle of Costa Rica can be tricky but incredibly rewarding as well. A good flash, tripod and patience are the name of the game down here. If you are interested in photographing Toucans, Macaws, Spider Monkeys, Sloths, Coati, Iguanas and more you can join me in Costa Rica this winter on my Wildlife of Costa Rica Photography Tour & Workshop – click for details.
