Specific Location
Tárcoles
NaturesLens visits Tárcoles 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 Tárcoles include Ultimate Costa Rican Wildlife, with photography shaped around hide, boat-based, flight and garden and close-up photography sessions. A Pacific-coast town in Costa Rica, gateway to Carara National Park & the wide, crocodile-filled Tárcoles River where mangrove & rainforest habitats converge. Scarlet Macaw, reliably seen & heard overhead, alongside American crocodile congregations on the river & a strong supporting cast of coastal rainforest birds.
