When Michael Chaplin first told us about his plan to to turn the family home into a museum dedicated to his father, we knew what an immense undertaking this would be. At that time, Michael was still living at Manoir de Ban in Corsier-sur-Vevey, Switzerland, with his family. When he […]

A big kiss from the so-called Hot Lips 👄 plant in Monteverde Costa Rica - one of the most eco diverse places on the planet.

Up close and personal with lots of non-furry Costa Rica friends with a great tour on the BOGARIN Trail.

Lots of great places to go sloth viewing in and around La Fortuna. Lucky enough to get some good shots including this one of a baby 3 toed sloth. They are the world’s slowest mammal with 6 species split between 2 & 3 toed varieties and spend 90% of their time upside down! #lafortuna #sloth #arenal #arenalvolcano #costarica @visit_costarica #rainforest #volcano
Got the zoom lens out for the amazing birds at El Silencio Lodge. Our guide tells us that this is a Green Crowned Brilliant.
