Costa Rica, March 2-10, 2019

Costa Rica is a very beautiful country with lush, green vegetation, conservation areas, cloud rain forests, a volcano, gorgeous beaches and breathtaking rolling countryside.  For this trip, arranged by Terraficionados Travel, I focused on two regions - the Arenal Volcano conservation & Monteverde Cloud Forest.  I experienced several nature hikes (including one on hanging bridges) with private local guides as well as a river safari. I had lots of opportunities to capture many different varieties of birds (at least 30), some monkeys, a sloth and gorgeous countryside.

There are 3 galleries to view:  Arenal Volcano; Monteverde; and San Jose Hotel Gardens.  You can click on the image below 
to enter the gallery (if you hover your mouse over an image, the title will appear), or alternatively you can click  on "Costa Rica" under Locations.
