King Vulture at Boca Tapada

Boca Tapada offers photographers a chance to encounter the striking King Vulture, its bare, multicoloured head & neck making for an unmistakable subject against the Costa Rican canopy. Visitors joining Ultimate Costa Rican Wildlife, Wildlife Icons of Costa Rica, or Essential Costa Rican Wildlife stand a good chance of adding this species to their portfolio during a stop here. April, May, November & December are the months typically favoured for sightings, so planning a trip around this window is worthwhile. As with all wildlife photography at Boca Tapada, patience & a keen eye skyward will serve you well.
