Alajuela Wildlife Photography
A province & city just northwest of San José, Costa Rica's main international gateway, sitting in the Central Valley beneath the slopes of Poás Volcano.
The endemic Poás Volcano Hummingbird is found nowhere else, alongside Resplendent Quetzal, Black Guan, Sooty Robin & Prevost's Ground-Sparrow on the volcano's slopes, a first taste of highland species before the itinerary moves to more specialised habitats.
