Subjects : Both venomous and arboreal snakes, hummingbirds, jaguars, many spiders including beautiful tarantulas and poisonous spiders, tapirs, stick insects, bats and owls. Obviously then there is a whole infinite insecticiferous and bird-bearing world.

Recommended equipment : Bright lenses, the forest is really dark photographically speaking. In particular, a wide angle for some glimpses, a medium telephoto type 70-200 2.8 and a telephoto with f4 aperture.

Best months : All year round

How to get there : We were independent with a 4x4 car but luckily we were picked up by a taxi, booked by the manager of the reserve. The road is not difficult but, considering that you have probably rented it, it would not have made me feel serene to do the approximately 45 minutes of off-road driving, because in case of breakage they would have been painful. After the 45 minutes of off-road driving, you have to walk as many minutes in the mud, with your backpack on your shoulders and your suitcases entrusted to an assistant.

Visits : Mainly it is a research and study center and places for visitors are limited. It is necessary to contact the property in advance to book.

Notes : In the reserve it is necessary to have a spirit of adaptation, 100% humidity, warm, there is no running water and the bathroom is a bucket with sawdust. On the other hand you will always be alone in addition to a couple of staff people, if you want you can go around independently, you eat very well and you can focus on nature and photos, also because you will be cut off from the world, no cell phone, no Internet, no TV, nothing. radio. Rubber boots are essential, don't fool yourself, mountain boots would be useless. You can bring your own or ask the manager of the facility to give them to you.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPyjZR0xvlI
