The majestic Arenal Volcano lies just 90km
northwest of the country’s capital, San Jose, and
and is still active after an eruption in 1968 that
destroyed the town of Tabacón. Until 2010, it was
one of the ten most active volcanoes in the world.
Although you’ll be very aware of its movements
throughout the day, when noises spew from the
top and you can feel the ground move beneath
your feet, it’s not until fiery lava and burning rocks
explode from its top that you’ll feel the true might
of this fantastic sight.
This might not sound like the classic location for
a photography trip, but Volcan Arenal lies in the
middle of a national park that bears the same
name, and in which almost all of Costa Rica’s 850
bird species can be found. As well as the beautiful
native plants around the reservoir, you might also
see jaguars, snakes, deer and coati. Pack a quick
zoom lens for this trip!

To the north of the Panamanian isthmus, just
tucked under Nicaragua, is a country that may be
small in size, but is large in personality. Costa Rica
has been the tourist hub of Central America for
years now, but many exquisite locations still get
lost when folks take their cameras to its balmy
shores. As one of the most diverse countries in the
region, there’s more than enough nature to keep
any photographer busy, but even if flora and fauna
isn’t your thing, you’ll find lots to keep you busy in
Costa Rica!
