In Costa Rica our three main mountain ranges (Tilarán, Central and Talamanca) constitute a geographic barrier that separates the Caribbean and Pacific populations of Fer-de-lance, and striking differences exist between individuals from opposite sides of the country.

Females from the Caribbean slope populations measure on average 167cm (66 inches), their smaller Pacific counterparts measure on average 142 cm (56 inches). There is also a distinct size difference between male and female individuals of all populations, on average females are 20% to 25% longer than males. Since the litter size of these live-bearing snakes is positively correlated with the female’s body size, ferdelances on the Caribbean slope give birth to more young than on the pacific side of the country. This species is extremely prolific, litter size ranges from 5 to 86 babies.

Juvenile Bothrops asper predominantly eat frogs and lizards while adults feed on birds and mammals, taking prey up to the size of opossums or rabbits.

It is coffee harvest season in our country.

Costa Rica offers some of the best coffee beans in the world, and my friend Tomas Gutierrez knows it well. He is one the finest producers of coffee in the Central Valley of Costa Rica. This region offers ideal conditions that allow coffee plants to grow beans with body and exquisite flavors.

The Central Valley of Costa Rica, also called the Grand Metropolitan Area, is located in the center of the country.

This region is ideal for coffee plantations and for all sorts of agricultural crops due to the rich volcanic soils found there, and although this is the most densely populated area of Costa Rica, you can still find pristine spots not far from its main cities.

Most travel agents and tour operators won’t take you there, many of them don’t even know this places exist, others have heard of them but they have never taken the time to explore them, being a true travel designer requires hours in the outdoors.

Many of our competitors just sell the easy path to our visitors, which ends up in mediocre experiences to the tourists that travel the world to visit our country.

La Reserva Biológica El Copal, es miembro de la Asociación Costarricense de Turismo Rural Comunitario (ACTUAR), esta asociación tiene como propósito promover la sostenibilidad ambiental, social, cultural y económica de las iniciativas de turismo rural comunitario en el país.

Cada persona que realiza un viaje mediante la modalidad de turismo rural comunitario tendrá no solo la oportunidad de conocer las bellezas naturales de Costa Rica, sino también los modos de vida y la cultura del lugar que visitan.

Esta forma de turismo contrasta considerablemente con el actual modelo de desarrollo turístico que predomina a nivel mundial, el cual tiene impactos negativos sobre la cultura, el medio ambiente y las economías locales. El turismo rural comunitario se basa en el respeto a la comunidad anfitriona y al medio ambiente.

El Copal es un excelente ejemplo de esta modalidad de turismo de bajo impacto, además esta reserva biológica es un lugar maravilloso para disfrutar de la observación de aves y para realizar caminatas por senderos que atraviesan el bosque lluvioso de la vertiente caribe.

Las siguientes 10 especies de aves fueron nuestras favoritas durante el fin de semana pasado:

1. Snowcap
2. Yellow eared Toucanet
3. Golden winged Warbler
4. Brown billed Scythebill
5. Collared Trogon
6. Tawny capped Euphonia
7. Wilson´s Warbler
8. Speckled Tanager
9. Tropical Parula
10 Rufous tailed Jacamar

Last weekend we ventured into one of the least explored areas of Costa Rica, the foothills of the Caribbean slope, an ecosystem located between the highlands of the Talamanca cordillera and the Caribbean coast. To get there we drove through small rural towns, places we had heard before in the tv news or newspapers, but new to my friends and I. We passed through the cities of Cartago and Paraíso, and the small towns of Tucurrique and Pejibaye, from there on, the paved road turned into gravel, until it reached La Marta Wildlife Refuge.

It was a pleasure to the see the verdant rainforest and to feel the rain again, for those of us that live in the pacific dry forest lowlands, the last months of the dry season turn heavy, the soil cracks, the constant heat, trees get rid of their leaves as in autumn, grass turns into a brownish-yellowish color, and forest fires can burn thousands of hectares in the province of Guanacaste.

Our birding hours were not amazing but fruitful, a passing storm through the Caribbean side of Costa Rica made the weather conditions kind of hard for wildlife observation. Here a photo of a White Collared Manakin (Manacus candei), a common resident of the lowlands and foothills of the Caribbean slope, it can be found from sea level to 700 meters and its geographical distribution goes from southeast Mexico to extreme west Panama.

Playa Negra Surf Trip. Last weekend we visited one of our favorite waves in the northern pacific coast of CR. It might sound cliché, but during our stay at Negra, my friend Alejandro and I woke up everyday at 445am in order to be able to paddle out with the first light. The moon was so full that at 515am we felt that the little light present was provided equally by the sun as by the giant full moon that was seated up in the sky, right above this magical right point break.

We woke up so early because we wanted to surf this break without too many people and with the best possible tide. Even though Playa Negra can break with any tide, it usually works better close to the high or mid tide, besides, it usually gets super crowded after 7am, and given the small take off zone this wave has, the competiveness for the waves is high among locals and tourists, so, if you really want to surf perfect waves at this break with nobody around, you better be an early bird.

Thanks for a great stay.

Guanacaste’s dry season sunsets. The view from this lodge is simply spectacular, one can see Guanacaste’s coastline from Las Catalinas all the way north to the Santa Elena peninsula. No other region in Costa Rica offers this red in the sky.

The United Kingdom is the largest European source country for birdwatching tourism, followed by the Netherlands and Germany, well, here two passionate Brits enjoying the beautiful birds of the southern Nicoya Peninsula.

Thanks to for always trusting in our naturalist tour guides.

I spent the last 4 nights in the highlands of the Talamanca mountain range, exploring areas located at different altitudinal floors, such as the Savegre river canyon in the lowest part of Providencia de Dota, and Cerro Buena Vista, located high at 3400 meters of altitude, from which one can see the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea during a cloudless day.

Even though I went up there with 3 targets in mind, Black speckled palm pit viper, Costa Rican Pygmy Owl and the Unspotted Saw whet owl, I didn’t find any of them, despite the long hours invested scanning the branches of giant oak trees and the dense vegetation of the forest floor, during the early mornings, late afternoons and during the first hours of the night.

The highlands of Costa Rica offer a unique ecosystem with low temperatures, fresh air, deep blue skies, crystal clear rivers, challenging hiking trails and plenty of endemic flora and fauna. For those of us that live in the humid and hot lowlands of Costa Rica, the cold temperatures of the highlands offer an exquisite refuge from the intense heat of the pacific coast.

Thanks to for your hospitality and great food and for sharing your wildlife pictures.

Corcovado National Park

In Corcovado encounters with Tapirs on the beach are a regular sight, while river mouths offer the opportunity to see the fins of a bull shark as it enters the river in search of its next prey, less common but still possible is the observation of wild cats such as Jaguars, Pumas or Ocelots.

This is an experience for nature lovers who are willing to venture in paths with a certain degree of difficulty.

Keep in mind that this national park doesn’t allow unaccompanied visitors, everyone must have a guide at all times. Wildlife is intense in this region of southern Costa Rica, crocodiles are common in the estuaries and dozens of snakes inhabit this lowland rainforest, including the stunning but deadly Central America bushmaster.

A genuine rainforest experience.

El Remanso Lodge is set in the heart of the Osa peninsula, right where the rainforest meets the Pacific Ocean. El Remanso is an upscale wildlife lodge which counts with 14 eco-luxury villas, bungalows and rooms that combine the luxuries of modernity with the raw nature that surrounds their property.

The Osa peninsula is one of the most untamed regions of Costa Rica, wildlife is diverse, the tropical lowland rainforest is dense, waterfalls roar and the 3 surf breaks in the area offer turquoise water waves with long rides.

During the second week of December, we will spend 3 nights in this lodge, exploring wildlife and beaches around the Cabo Matapalo area, before heading to Corcovado National Park.
