Central America is one of the most biologically dense regions on Earth — a narrow land bridge where North and South American wildlife converge across tropical rainforests, cloud forests, volcanic highlands, and Caribbean and Pacific coastlines. Cheesemans' expeditions explore this remarkable diversity in depth, with expert naturalists guiding you through habitats that support an extraordinary range of birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects. Encounter Resplendent Quetzals, Keel-billed Toucans, and Turquoise-browed Motmots alongside sloths, howler monkeys, and poison dart frogs — in landscapes that reward slow, attentive observation at every turn.

About the Region
Costa Rica
Costa Rica is the gateway to Central America's most accessible and rewarding wildlife — a small country that protects an outsized share of the world's biodiversity across tropical rainforests, cloud forests, and Pacific and Caribbean coastlines. Cheesemans' expeditions move through these distinct habitats with expert naturalists, searching for Resplendent Quetzals in the highland mist, Keel-billed Toucans in the forest canopy, and Turquoise-browed Motmots along shaded trails — alongside sloths, howler monkeys, poison dart frogs, and the endlessly varied insect and reptile life that makes every walk an education. Costa Rica rewards patience and attention, and our itineraries are built to give you both.
