Costa Rica | Rainforests to the Sea: Nature Photography with Nick Leadley (holbrooktravel.com)
The April trip bird photography to the Caribbean slope was a great success! Here's what participants had to say:
"I just wanted to say we are having one of, if not the very best, photo trips we've ever been on. Andres, Nick, and Carlos have all been superb: friendly, knowledgeable, gracious, and eager to make our trip unforgettable. They have succeeded!
We can't wait to take another trip with Holbrook. Thank you for making everything work seamlessly."

"My Costa Rica photo adventure was an incredible experience. Nick Leadley’s deep knowledge of Costa Rica, its wildlife, and
photography techniques made for a deeply satisfying experience. Our local guide Andres was also well versed and provided detailed
insights into the flora and fauna we encountered as well as a window into Costa Rican culture. Our driver Carlos was skilled in
navigating the often challenging road conditions and brought us safely to every destination with skill and a friendly demeanor."

The itinerary for the November trip starts at the fabulous Hotel Bougainville in Santo Domingo where we start with photographing birds in the beautiful gardens. From there we venture to many of the locations in the northern part of Costa Rica we visited in April plus Monteverde in the cloud forest to see and photograph Resplendant Quetzals, then down the Pacific Coast to some new locations before returning to San Jose.
In the Caribbean slope we stay at Selva Verde Lodge and Reserve in Sarapiqui with trips to Copearte, home of the artist and photographer known as Cope to photograph hummingbirds and other species in the garden, the Macaw Farm operated by Don Alvaro Otoya where brilliantly colored Scarlet and Great Green Macaws fly free and perch in the trees in the garden and Dave and Dave's Costa Rica Nature Park for hummingbird photography. Then on to Cano Negro, often referred to Costa Rica's Everglades where boat trips offer chances to see and photograph various Kingfisher species and the Jaribu Stork. On the Pacific coast we visit the Tarcoles River and Carara National Park.
