Arenal Eco Adventure Preview, Day 3: Tico Farm Tour
April 9th, 2010
Enrique, Margaret, Eric, and Jesse. Monterrey, Costa Rica
When I was putting together the schedule for our September photography tour in Monterrey, Costa Rica, I looked for excursions that would give our students a real feel for this beautiful country. That’s why I am so excited to take our students on the Tico Farm tour.

We will be traveling with our guide, Enrique, to a local farm that belongs to his nephew Eric. As guests on this beautiful farm in Monterrey, Costa Rica, the students will help feed the animals and learn how the dairy farm works. We will head down to the pond and catch tilapia for our lunch. Jesse and I learned how to make homemade corn tortillas during our last visit to the farm. Our students will also have the opportunity to learn how to make cheese while we’re there.

I’m proud to be able to introduce our photography students to these gracious people and give them a taste of what life is like in Monterrey. There will be lots of opportunities for environmental portraits of Eric and his family, as well as lots of animals to photograph. This will be a great chance to practice your visual story telling.
I had to throw in this shot of our buddy Don building trust with the goats! Monterrey, Costa Rica
