Up Close with Costa Rica’s Most Exotic Wildlife

Описание: Pura Vida! 🇨🇷 We had the most incredible time exploring the lush landscapes and vibrant wildlife of Costa Rica. Honestly, it was a bit of a bittersweet experience; I feel so lucky to have witnessed these rare and endangered species up close (Resplendent Quetzal and endangered Baird's Tapir! ), but it’s a heavy reminder of how much we need to protect our planet. 🌎

Costa Rica is doing such an amazing job with conservation, and I think the rest of the world could learn a thing or two from them! From the misty cloud forests of San Gerardo de Dota to the Monteverde Night tours, every moment was magic.

Huge thanks to our amazing guides and tours:

Thank you to Royvin ‪@royvingutierrez9951‬ for the fantastic birdwatching at Arenal Oasis. The birds were stunning, but that traditional Costa Rican breakfast? Total game changer.

Our night tour with Nafrine was a blast. He was energetic, funny, and somehow found things in the dark I never would have seen!

Manuel Antonio National Park Tours
Shoutout to Mauro! He worked so hard to spot the Sloths and the Anteaters for us.

Jairo was a wealth of knowledge during our night tour. He really gave us a whole new perspective on "nightlife."

Last but definitely not least, Antoine helped us find a Baird's Tapir mama and her baby! 🐾 Plus, his mom’s delicious sandwiches and coffee were the perfect end to the tour. In the video you will see BBC and National Geographic teams filming a documentary on Tapir.
