Costa Rica: A Haven for Toucan Enthusiasts!
These colourful creatures, famous for their striking beaks and vibrant plumage, are found in various parts of Costa Rica, thriving in both the misty cloud forests and the lush rainforest.
For the best chance to spot a toucan in its natural environment, head to destinations like Tortuguero National Park, Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, or Corcovado National Park. These areas are not only hotspots for toucans but also for a myriad of other wildlife, making them perfect for nature walks and photography.
Early morning is the prime time for toucan watching, as these birds are most active during the cooler parts of the day. Guided tours can enhance your experience, offering the expertise of local guides who know exactly where these elusive birds are likely to be found.
Check out our tailor-made tours to Costa Rica on our website or get in touch to enquire with our Destination Specialists!

Let's celebrate World Penguin Day with the wonderful footage by @bertiegregory, who filmed for the very first-time emperor penguin chicks leap off a 50-foot ice cliff to take their first swim! π§
βWhen the chicks are around five months old, they leave the colony and travel to the sea, normally entering the water from a height of about one to two feet off the sea ice. However, since the advent of high-res satellite imagery, scientists have been aware that some emperor colonies were breeding and raising their chicks high up on the more permanent ice shelves. But itβs never been confirmed just how these colonies descended the precipitous ice shelvesβuntil now.
βWeβd seen multiple groups of chicks walking out in this direction, but due to the undulating, icy terrain and a dangerous crevasse field, we were unable to follow them on snowmobile or on foot. They would simply disappear over the horizon. It wasnβt until I launched a drone that I was able to keep them in view and see the enormous cliff they were walking toward. As soon as I realized they were going near to the edge, I used the droneβs powerful zoom lens to maintain a very large distance from downwind. I wanted to be 100 percent sure I had no influence on their behavior. After several batteries and a couple of hours waiting, I watched a single chick walk up to the edge and launch itself off. Once the first had jumped and landed unscathed in the freezing Southern Ocean, many soon followed, and I was able to nudge in close enough to capture the scene.β
Happy Penguin Day! π§
