What is macro-photography? It's up-close photography of insects and flora where the tiniest details are revealed in glorious color and proximity. Here's your chance to immerse yourself in the world of the Villa Blanca Cloud Forest with an exclusive macro-photography workshop guided by an expert.
In the setting of the Villa Blanca Hotel, meet a photographer who specializes in macro work. You'll discover the secrets of local flora and fauna while capturing fascinating images of the miniature life inhabiting the surrounding ecosystem. Every click of the shutter brings you closer to the amazing biodiversity of the cloud forest. Make the most of this chance to use professional equipment to take your own macro-shot photographs.
Visit the biological station to learn about the history and conservation of the El Silencio de los Ángeles Reserve (the Silence of the Angels) and how this natural sanctuary preserves local ecology.
After a rewarding morning, return to the hotel for a traditional buffet lunch of authentic Costa Rican flavors.
Don't miss the hotel's Tico House Museum house and a taste of agua dulce and artisanal cheeses produced on the premises.
A brief stop en route back to the ship allows you to stretch your legs, enjoy beautiful gardens, and browse for a souvenir if you wish.
