THE MOST BIOLOGICALLY INTENSE PLACE

ON EARTH 


Embraced by the both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, Costa Rica is truly a wildlife and photography paradise, as my multiple trips here a year indicates. While encompassing only about 0.03% of the world’s landmass, Costa Rica boasts 5% of the world’s biodiversity.

 

This photo workshop will be based on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica, considered to be the crown jewel of the country. The ecological variety on the Osa region and Corcovado National Park is stunning, so much so that National Geographic has called it “the most biologically intense place on Earth in terms of biodiversity”.

 

During this workshop, we will spend 5 days around the Osa Peninsula and Corcovado National Park, and then a further 2 days in the cloud forest of Costa Rica looking for species not found on the lowlands, such as the Resplendent quetzal and a number of hummingbird species. We spend 2 half days traveling from the peninsula to the highlands and from the highlands back to San Jose.

 

Costa Rica is truly a pacifist nation. With no standing army and very progressive environmental policies, they are the ONLY country in the world to meet all five UNDP criteria established to measure environmental sustainability.

 

For this workshop, I have selected superior accommodations for the group. All of our lodging and transportation is first rate, and the impressive food, including fresh seafood and tropical fruits, will prove to be an experience to remember.

 

Our group will focus on the wildlife of Costa Rica, and we will set our sights on a variety of birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibian species.

 

I do hope you can join us on this workshop.

 

Cheers Tom Putt

HERE'S WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO


  • As with all our workshops, this is an all-inclusive experience. Just get yourself to San Jose Airport and we will take care of the rest!

  • My workshops are fairly intensive experiences, and as such, you should not expect this to be a leisurely vacation. My goal is to capture the best images we can during our travels around this incredible country. This means there will be days we begin very early, typically at dawn, and end after sunset. However, we will always have breaks and lunch rest hours to recuperate, punctuated by numerous coffee stops!!!

  • We have hired local naturalists so you get the BEST opportunities and expreriences to photograph all the stunning wildlife of Costa Rica.

  • Your two professional photographic guides, Juan Pons and Tom Putt, have been photographing wildlife for decades. They will be there to assist you so that you get all the incredible photographs you've come for!

WHY COME WITH US?


Since I started these workshops back in 2005, I have always offered the same experience for our guests - a fun, relaxed holiday for keen photographers who want to learn more about photography while returning home with photographs and memories they could only dream of.

 

Our all-inclusive, luxury photographic workshops are customised with you in mind - I make sure I get you to the right place, at the right time, for the best light and the best photographic opportunities.

 

And given that I organise everything, all you need to do is sit back, relax and enjoy the experience.

 

I pride myself in putting YOU first. I'm not there to get photos for myself. I'm there to help you take incredible photographs and remember your experience for many years to come.

 

Many of our participants return year after year to enjoy our hospitality. So step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself a little. Give yourself the opportunity to fine-tune your photographic skills as you stretch your horizons and capture something truly extraordinary. 


I look forward to welcoming you on this workshop soon.

 

Cheers Tom Putt
