Study Abroad in Costa Rica


Last Summer I studied tropical ecology in one of the most beautiful countries  I have ever seen, Costa Rica. For the entire month of May I traveled the entire country, going to many different rainforests. Costa Rica is the one of the only countries in the world thats different forest environments. The type of rainforrest I visited were a wet, dry cloud and beach. each rainforest is unique in its own way. The Places I visited were:
 The capital city San Jose
La Selva (Wet Rainforest)
Palo Verde (Dry rainforest)
Monte Verde (Cloud rainforest)
Manuel Antonio (Beach)
San Jose Capital City 

National theater In San Jose

Streets of San Jose

  1. Costa Rica seems really beautiful and I would love to go there. I like your documentary style of photography. I like the use of lines and perspective in Trail in La Selva and the Bridge entering the Rainforest. All the animals are really cool but I especially like the picture of the parrot. Your last photograph is really nice, too, because of the way the trees frame the ocean scene.
