San Gerardo de Dota

NaturesLens visits San Gerardo de Dota on small-group wildlife photography holidays in Costa Rica, with time here planned around Basilisk Lizard, Blue Jeans Poison Dart Frog, Chestnut-headed Oropendola, Chestnut-mandibled Toucan and Collared Aracari rather than general sightseeing. Current itineraries using San Gerardo de Dota include Essential Costa Rican Wildlife, Ultimate Costa Rican Wildlife and Wildlife Icons of Costa Rica, with photography shaped around hide, boat-based, flight, garden and close-up and night or low-light photography sessions. A steep cloud forest valley in the Talamanca mountains, among the highest-elevation stops on a Costa Rica itinerary, threaded by a fast-flowing river beneath oak forest. The signature location for Resplendent Quetzal, alongside Fiery-throated Hummingbird, Volcano Hummingbird & other highland specialities found nowhere else on the trip.
