Randy Wei, I’m an award-winning wildlife photographer who has been fascinated by birds and nature ever since my first visit to Costa Rica in 2017. Since then, my vision has been to create a place that combines the natural beauty and wildlife of Costa Rica with a spiritual retreat and spa that soothes the soul – especially for designed for bird photographers. Freddy Madrigal, who is one of the most knowledgeable certified birding experts in Costa Rica. He can take you around Arte de Plumas or anywhere in Costa Rica with a special tour extension.

Arte de Plumas is located in the tiny town of Turrialba, Costa Rica with 65 acres of land, 85% of which is protected primary forest with a rich wildlife environment. It is surrounded by rainforest and river streams that crisscross the paths of many birds species moving across the island from different elevations during different seasons. ​ Here you can photograph the most beautiful birds in the world in their natural habitat. We have a humming bird garden, butterfly garden, and other special areas inside the forest so you have great opportunities to an amazing one-of-a-kind experience you’ll never forget!

Our good friend, Rancho Naturalista, who is one of the finest birdwatching lodges in Central America is 10 min away from us. CATIE, The Tropical Agricultural Research and Higher Education Center and botanical garden is 20 mins from us. Along with many lakes, streams, waterfall, nature scenery everywhere.
