Jan 25th, 2017- Toucans, Forest Night Walk & Last Trip to Cloud Forest
Our final full day in Costa Rica and the Monteverde region offered up more photo opportunities. Last night we wrapped up the day with a rainforest night hike. This was a challenging adventure considering it is pitch black in the forest and photography needs light. With high powered flash lights and some areas where flash was allowed we got a few interesting shots. Then this morning we returned to the Cloud Forest for one final photo shoot before traveling back to San Jose for our overnight before flying home.
It has been a great trek and all our photographers are coming home with a great selection of images, from the wetlands, rainforest and mountain regions. I’m also please to announce we will be offering the same tour next year in January of 2018. Below are the selection of images from todays adventure.
This Emerald Toucan was catching the last light of the day.

Another view of the sloth, he was very high in the trees.
One last chance to photograph the hummingbirds at the cloud forest.
It was low light shooting this morning due to trees and over cast but we gave it a try.

We stopped for coffee on our return to San Jose and found this scarlet macaw was feeding in a tree by the road way.

It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good
content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
