Rank : 9.5 (average on 4 votes)

Coordinates : 10.431231, -84.003397 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : in the park there are over 400 species of birds, I've seen 15-20, including different types of colobrì. It 'also possible to observe several reptiles, amphibians and monkeys, animals that are relatively confident, and very photogenic (spectacular colors!).

Recommended equipment : the ideal is a telephoto 300mm up, I have preferred to use the 300 2.8 with multipliers instead of the 600 f / 4, for greater mobility of 300 and for the ease of use freehand. The tripod is not necessary in most cases, you should follow the subject and shoot freehand.

Best months : throughout the year, but I prefer the rainy season (October-November-December) for a chance to fotografiare overcast, so even in the middle of the day.

How to get there : ticket for San Jose (the capital of Costa Rica) costs about 700-800 €, here you can rent a car and drive to Puerto Viejo (Province Sarapiqui). About 2 km before the village is the entrance of the park.

Visits : admission fee, with or without a guide.

Notes : In the park there are facilities for stay and have lunch.
