Costa Rica 2003

3 Locations in 10 Days
In early February, 2003, I lead a 10 day wildlife workshop in Costa Rica. Renown naturalist, wildlife artist and authorFiona Reidacted as our guide. Our group of nine visited three major locations; the northeastern Caribbean cost at Tortuguero, the western Golfo de Nicoya area on the Pacific, and the Monteverde cloud forest region of the north central interior.
So much has been written about the natural splendor of Costa Rica that there is little benefit in my repeating it here. Enough to say that for someone from northern climes seeking an active winter holiday there are few better places, especially if wildlife viewing and photography are on the agenda. The country is politically stable, sanitation standards are high, the people are generally friendly, and they welcome tourists. Over 20% of the country is set aside as National Parks and Nature Reserves.
