Well done Zee Char,
I would love to go to Costa Rica, and still hope to some day. Glad you bought your flash as well, as you already are getting very well exposed images with it and your Better Beamer. I particularly like the White Faced Monkey close up.
I am considering the 100-400 L II for next year. And the 7D II will happen sometime this year.

You have an amazing gem there. I fell in love with CR. Snorkelling in the morning, wild howler monkeys in a tree on beach beside us later. Later horses and riders galloped on the beach and that evening was the horse parade in Coco for the festival and bull riding. Lots of cerveza for the riders and spectators.wonderful series pictures!!!!..... i love my country costa rica

It was hard to leave. I wish I had rented a car. We were with friends for about 20 days out of 30 and you don't get a lot of time to shoot on the tours. Next time I will explore it more and take more time to shoot. I would have liked more birds.

Thanks. Like I told Alex I wish I had rented a car. We were with friends for about 20 days out of 30 and you don't get a lot of time to shoot on the tours. Now that I know the areas better I will explore it more and take more personal time to shoot.
Get the lens and go. You won't regret it.

Around between 10 and 30 ft. No. Not one seemed disturbed by it.
Very nice shots Zee. Am going to CR for first time next month with the family on an "adventure" vacation for 7 days. From your shots it looks like my initial plan of taking my 70D and 100-400 are justified. Planned on also at least taking my SL1, 18-135 STM, and S95.
Since you have just been there, was wondering if this is what you would take given my gear list, or if you see other combos and additional items that would be better or as additions (would like to keep things pretty minimal and light)?
Others feel free to jump in also.
Also any recommendations on rain protection for the gear while shooting?

I took my 55-250 STM and it sat in the safe for the whole month. It is my light travel zoom. I'm glad I took my 100-400 but there would have been no doubt I would not have.
I also took my 5D3 and 24-70II and it got little use. We were on the northern pacific side and it was the dry season so not as lush for landscapes. Not to say there weren't landscape beach, etc shots. When we went to the mountain areas like Arenal and Monte Vedre it was more lush jungle so I used it more.
Sounds like your arsenal will work out fine. 7 day adventure? You don't want to take too much. We had a Condo with a safe so I took more and could pick and choose. I don't know your plans but if you can make it to Palo Verde it is a national park. You can get on a boat and do the river tour. The white faced monkeys come right to the boat.
View from out Condo and you can see it was getting to be pretty dry in some areas. They said by May it will all be brown before the rainy season kicks in.
