EmilyGreyPhotography  > Other > CENTRAL AMERICA & MEXICO
Four months after 9/11/01, I began traveling internationally. Meeting people of different cultures is the best education in the world. Costa Rica was my first big gig. I published over six articles on this friendly, biodiverse nation. WildBird (june 2004), Tico Times, and the Richmond Times Dispatch are a few of my outlets.

Thanks to Michael Kaye and the other good people of Costa Rica Expeditions for your hospitality.

Besides Mexico City and the border towns, in the heart of Tamaulipas lies a jewel, El Cielo Cloud Forest. This UNESCO site teems with birds and other wildlife. One autumn, I had the priviliege of exploring this unusual and primitive area with a group of nature-minded Texans.

EmilyGreyPhotography > One of my most memorable adventures ever was being harnessed and hoisted manually up a stinking toe tree (some call it Guapinol)to the canopy. Corcovado Tent Camp
EmilyGreyPhotography > With nothing but a rope, pulley, helmet, diaper, and harness, away we go up to a stinking toe tree canopy and then a spine tingly descent. Osa Peninsula
EmilyGreyPhotography > After our small plane landed on a dirt runway, we walked Survivor-style 2.5 miles to our tent camp. A young man and a horse-driven cart delivered our luggage.
EmilyGreyPhotography > Environmentally friendly Corcovado Tent Camp blends in with the surrounding jungle.
EmilyGreyPhotography > I can still hear the waves caressing the shore, smell the fragrant blossoms, taste fresh papaya, touch a harmless thick-skinned iguana, and feast my sights on the sunsets. Corcovado
EmilyGreyPhotography > A church is one of the 5 main components of a Latin American villa. GRECIA (village)
EmilyGreyPhotography > A typical scene along a country road is a fellow and his ox-driven, hand-painted cart. An hour or so outside San Jose
