Rainforests of Costa Rica Photo Workshop
Roy Toft has been photographing the wildlife in Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula rainforest jungle for over 20 years. His first trip was in 1989 and Roy has been back an estimated 45 times. See what keeps bringing Roy back to this amazing little slice of tropical paradise and the remarkable imagery that he created for his coffee table book, “Osa: Where the Rainforest Meets the Sea.”
Scarlet Macaw Bird Photography Workshop
For bird photographers, the Costa Rica rainforest is an ideal location to observe and photograph Scarlet Macaws and a variety of other birds. This small group workshop is led exclusively by Roy Toft and is dedicated to experiencing and photographing the exceptionally beautiful Scarlet Macaw. These magnificent bright red, yellow, and blue Macaws can be seen at a specific, pristine area on the west coast of the Osa Peninsula. Join Roy as he travels down a remote road in the Costa Rica Osa Peninsula rainforest to a place where Scarlet Macaws are everywhere!
Quetzal and Hummingbird Costa Rica Photo Workshop
Our workshop will take place in the cool, cloud forests of the Costa Rican Talamanca Mountain range. Here we will spend two crisp mornings photographing one of the most beautiful birds in the world…the near threatened Resplendent Quetzal. Our afternoons will be spent photographing the dozen or so different species of hummingbirds that live in this high elevation biological reserve. Another standout of this trip is the fresh trout. Our family-run lodge serves a whole variety of fresh fish dishes that they make from trout raised on the property.
