点评:Definitely a highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. My research suggested this should be a high-quality experience for bird photography, and I was delighted with both the place and especially Samantha.
First, the property is a very large private reserve, and has not been spoiled by any commercial activity. A recently built viewing platform provided an excellent spot for hummingbird photos. No feeders, just a large planting of hummer-friendly flowers. Then onto the forest trails, where Samantha used her calls and local knowledge to point out many species in their own habitat. Again, more great photo opportunities.
No crowds - this is a very quiet and natural place.
Second, Samantha herself is a passionate guide who literally grew up on this property. She understands the land, the birds, and was a pleasure to have a guide. After well over 3 hours, breakfast was served, with a great view of Uvita's Marino Ballena, or whale tail.
This is as authentic an experience you can have if you are interested in bird watching or bird photography. Highly recommended - thanks Samantha!
翻译:这绝对是我哥斯达黎加之旅的一大亮点。我的研究显示,这里是鸟类摄影的绝佳去处,而我本人也对这个地方和萨曼莎赞不绝口。
首先,这片区域是一个非常大的私人保护区,完全没有受到任何商业活动的破坏。新建的观景台是拍摄蜂鸟的绝佳地点。这里没有喂食器,只有一大片吸引蜂鸟的花卉。之后,我们沿着森林小径漫步,萨曼莎凭借着她对鸟类的叫声和丰富的当地知识,为我们指出了许多鸟类在其栖息地中的位置。这又是一个绝佳的拍摄机会。
这里没有拥挤的人群——是一个非常安静自然的地方。
其次,萨曼莎本人是一位充满热情的向导,她从小就生活在这片土地上。她了解这片土地,了解这里的鸟类,有她这样的向导真是太好了。三个多小时后,我们享用了早餐,同时欣赏到了乌维塔的鲸尾岩(Marino Ballena)的壮丽景色。
如果您对观鸟或鸟类摄影感兴趣,这绝对是您能体验到的最原汁原味的观鸟之旅。强烈推荐——谢谢萨曼莎!
