Casco Viejo in Panama city
Images I captured from the historic old quarter of Panama city which i was happy wandering around for a few hours. Such a charming contrast between the old collapsing houses which have been left to rot and still house families and the sparkling ‘newness’ of the renovated houses which are now been converted into boutique […]

Playtime for Monkeys in the Osa Peninsula
Capucchin monkeys, like Spider monkeys, have an enormous amount of energy compared to Howlers as they eat lots of protein. A wonderful sight is to see them at play in the trees, leaping from branch to branch chasing, grabbing tails. Its as if they are having their own game of tag.

Corcovado National Park
Situated on the Osa Peninsula, Corcovado National Park boasts 46km of untouched coastline. As we journeyed South by boat towards the park, we passed isolated, sandy bays with frothing waves and not a human soul in sight. Heaven for birders, the vast tract of virgin tropical wet forest is host to over 400 bird species […]
