Our Philosophy

The best way to experience nature is to get on the other side of the tv screen and become part of the documentary ourselves!

To learn and to share our insight of Tropical Forests and help create an awareness of the importance of their conservation.

Our Vision


We want people to explore the different Ecosystems of Costa Rica and learn about how they are so dfferent eventhough they are so close to one other.

Natural History 

"Natural history is a domain of inquiry involving organisms, including animalsfungi, and plants, in their natural environment, leaning more towards observational than experimental methods of study.
A person who studies natural history is called a naturalist or natural historian.
Natural history encompasses scientific research but is not limited to it."
