The second Herpetological Expedition to the Caribbean of Costa Rica (September 2018) was an incredible success. With 8 participants plus 3 guides, we visited four different locations and we counted exactly 100 species of amphibians and reptiles.
Participants: Susan James, Bojana Kuzmicic, Diego Demangel, Paco Molla, Lucas Vogel, Hugo Cayuela, Robin Besancon, Jonathan Bonin.
Guides: Cesar Barrio Amorós, Jaime Culebras, Cristian Porras
