Howdy Milton. I'm sure you will get plenty of help with those that have been on tours to Costa Rica. I'm not one of them though

If it was me, I would get in touch with Greg Basco

And Gregs tour site

http://www.fotoverdetours.com/home.html

I've only chatted to him through several emails about other things, but I can tell you, he is one heck of a nice guy and his photography is just superb. Read what he does from his site, fascinating guy. I just fell in love with his work and what he does and achieves there. Interesting work. Drop him a line and ask for advice. It will be worth the email.

All the best and good luck. I would love to go there and would love to meet Greg in person.

Danny.

Milton, you might want to go over to the nature forum on Photo.net. Grover Larkins just posted a warning about using flash in the Monteverde Cloud Forest. Don't know if you plan to use flash but if so it would probably be wise to check it out. Hope this helps.

Just got back from CR on a photo tour. Great birds, but not so much for the tour itself. I would not recommend Exotic Birding for a photo tour. Got to see good stuff but never in great morning or evening light.

Costa Rica is a fabulous place and I can't wait to go back. March-April is a good time with lots of nesting going on. The lodge Villa Lapas right down the road from Carara Nat. Park
has a nesting pair of Chestnut Mandibled Toucans right outside of room 136.
