Embark on a 10-day photographic expedition into the untamed beauty of the Osa Peninsula, a region named “the most biologically intense place on Earth” by National Geographic. This journey will immerse you in the vibrant rainforests, coastal jungles, and pristine beaches that make this one of the world’s most biodiverse regions, offering many opportunities to capture life in its purest form.
Our adventure begins at a secluded eco-lodge surrounded by dense rainforest, where the air is thick with the sounds of wildlife. From the rustle of leaves in the canopy above to the distant calls of howler monkeys, you’ll feel nature’s pulse at every step. Each day, we’ll venture deeper into the jungle, photographing Costa Rica’s iconic wildlife— from the four species of monkeys that swing between trees to the vibrant flashes of Scarlet Macaws, Toucans, and dazzling hummingbirds. The dense vegetation hides secretive species like the lazy sloth, the vividly coloured poison dart frogs, and the elusive Puma.
Beyond the wildlife, the Osa Peninsula offers an unparalleled landscape photography experience—picture mist-shrouded mountains at dawn, shimmering beaches at sunset, and the dramatic, rugged Pacific coastline. Our itinerary includes stops at vital photographic spots, where the light at golden hour brings these vistas to life.
This expedition is not just a showcase of stunning wildlife and landscapes but a unique opportunity to elevate your photography skills. Our expert photo-grapher will guide you in anticipating those decisive moments that tell a story and transform everyday scenes into extraordinary images. With one-on-one instruction, you’ll refine your composition, master the use of light, and enhance your creative vision. Daily individual critiques and group discussions will provide valuable insights and support, helping you grow as a photographer. Join us for this once-in-a-lifetime experience that will leave you inspired and enriched by one of the world’s most captivating places.

All prices are listed per person and based on double occupancy. If you prefer a private room, please choose the single occupancy option. We generally stay in hotels, typically rated 4 or 5 stars. However, not all destinations have these types of properties available. We select unique hotels that reflect cultural, historical, or authentic characteristics. For smaller groups, boutique hotels may have limited room availability. We use lodges or well known chain hotels in certain countries or remote areas. Breakfast is almost always included on our tours, but this cannot be guaranteed. Meal categories are listed as (B) for breakfast, (L) for lunch, and (D) for dinner.
We’ll meet in the late afternoon at our hotel in San Jose, where you’ll have a chance to relax and unwind after your journey. Our adventure begins with a meet-and-greet cocktail hour, allowing you to get to know your fellow photographers and our expert guides. We’ll then head for dinner, indulge in local flavours and discuss the exciting days ahead. (B, L)
After breakfast, we’ll take a short domestic flight to Puerto Jiménez, the gateway to the Osa Peninsula. Upon arrival, we’ll be whisked away to our luxurious lodge nestled deep in the tropical rainforest, our home base for several days.
Once settled in, we’ll gather for lunch and engage in informal discussions, allowing you to share your photographic goals, preferred styles, and subject interests. This is an excellent opportunity to connect with your fellow photographers and our guides, laying the foundation for a collaborative and enriching experience.
Following lunch, you'll have a dedicated one-on-one session where we can discuss your camera settings, address any questions, and tailor our guidance to your specific needs and interests. The evening concludes with a delightful dinner at the lodge, setting the stage for the immersive experience that awaits us in the coming days. (B, L, D)
Our lodge will serve as our base for the next several days as we dive into the heart of the Osa Peninsula’s unparalleled biodiversity. Each day will be filled with guided excursions designed to capture the rich variety of wildlife and breathtaking landscapes that make this region a photographer’s dream.
We’ll encounter four species of monkeys—Howler, Spider, White-Faced Capuchin, and the endangered Squirrel Monkey—and a dazzling array of tropical birds, including the Toucan, Tanagers, Hummingbirds, Parrots, and the Scarlet Macaw. Our explorations might even bring us face-to-face with sea turtles, the vivid Golfo Dulce poison dart frogs, sloths, tamandua, coatis, and, with luck, the elusive Puma.
But wildlife isn’t the only focus. We’ll also capture the stunning landscapes, from mist covered mountains to pristine seascapes. We’ll venture to local villages to photograph fishermen, ranchers, surfers, and the vibrant culture that defines this region of Costa Rica. Each photographic opportunity will be carefully timed for optimal light, helping you elevate your compositions from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Throughout these days, all meals will be provided either at the lodge or during our field excursions, ensuring that every moment is spent immersed in the beauty of the rainforest. (B, L, D)
Our final day begins with a leisurely breakfast at the lodge, offering time to reflect on the incredible images and experiences we've gathered. Afterwards, we’ll take a return flight to San Jose, where we’ll bid farewell to the unforgettable landscapes of Costa Rica. (B)
