The PACIFIC SLOPE or Western Costa Rica

Whale Rock, Uvita, Puntarenas, Costa Rica – Seen from Hotel Cristal Ballena

My first visit to Costa Rica I was on a birding tour that divided the time between the Osa Peninsula/Corcovado NP and the Cloud Forest area of San Gerardo de Dota, both on the Mid to South Pacific Coast and it is still one favorite region, though I find as much to photograph in both the Alajuela/North-Central area and the Caribbean Slope. They are my three main areas for nature photography with Guanacaste just more difficult to get to and fewer concentrated areas of nature it seems to me, though I am less experienced there.
