Costa Rica - Am Pazifik

Die letzte Etappe in Costa Rica

Hallo liebe Leser.
Heute moechte ich mich ein letztes mal aus Costa Rica melden. Morgen geht unsere Tour zu Ende. Sicher ist es nicht moeglich alle Bilder die ich in diesem phantastischen Land gefertigt habe hier einzustellen. Deshalb beschraenke ich mich auf die schoensten Tieraufnahmen und verzichte auf Landschaftsbilder.

Von Monteverde aus ging die Fahrt an die Pazifikkueste. Doch bevor wir aus dem Hotel Finca Valverde abreisten gruessten uns ein letztes mal die Kapuziner Weissgesichtsaffen.











Waehrend der Fahrt entlang der Pazifikkueste begegnete mir ein alter Bekannter aus Patagonien. Der Caracara oder auf Deutsch der Rotwangenbussard.






Die Straende des Pazifiks sind weitlaufig und wild. Das Wasser hat Badewannen Temparatur. Wellenreiter finden hier ein El Dorado. Doch auch das Body Surfing in der Brandung ist ein Riesenspass.



Gerard und Christine fuhren vor und fanden nahe des Oertchens Jaco eine Kolonie roter Aras. Dort verbrachten wir den gesammten naechsten Tag mit Fotografie. Sicherlich ein Hoehepunkt dieser Reise und Grundlage fuer eine Fototour 2011. Meldet Euch bitte an bei mir per E Mail.

Patagonia South Excursion

The season of the Orcas has finished. Now our last photographer group is heading south.

On a windy day we visited the village of the fisherman. They live like 50 years behind and whale bones descorate their garden.






This are baleens of the southern right whale





Our first stop when we travel south is always Calhetta Sara at Cabo dos Bahias National Park. Beside penguins we find Guanaks everywhere. They are not shy...
But also Maras are around






Guanakos in Caletta Sara





A skunk crossed our way....a reason for the photographers to get out and follow him





So i had to get out of the car myself to direct the skunk to the photographers. Thats a hell of a job because we all know what a skunk can do....but no worries.
I still smell well (-:



The Patagonia Sky is allways wonderfull....









Chilenian Flamingos rest at Calhetta Sara as well.









For thoose who want to stay some extra days we arranged an excursion to the patrified forest in Sarmiento.









If you are a photographer come and join us next year on our trip. Information at www.patagoniaproject.net
