About Foto Verde
Foto Verde is owned by Paulo Valerio, a Costa Rican
ecologist/travel entrepreneur, and Greg Basco, a Costa Rican
resident professional photographer and conservationist. We
started Foto Verde Tours so that we could share our love of
photography and Costa Rica's natural habitats with the growing
number of nature photographers around the world. Costa Rica,
with habitat from cactus-studded tropical dry forest to Caribbean
rainforest beaches to cool, misty oak cloud forests all packed
into a small democratic republic, truly is a paradise for
the nature photographer.
We are both avid nature shooters, live full-time
in Costa Rica, and are fully fluent in Spanish and English.
In addition, we boast a wealth of knowledge on Costa Rica's
natural history, culture, and conservation. Who could know
better what you need to get the nature photos of a lifetime?
We look forward to meeting and traveling with you on your
next photo adventure!

Paulo Valerio
An ecologist by training, Paulo has biology in his
blood; he comes from a long line of prominent Costa Rican
biologists. Paulo worked for many years as a naturalist guide
before starting his own tour company, Buena Aventura Turismo
(BAT), which caters to academic and birdwatching groups visiting
Costa Rica to learn about the environment. Paulo's connections
and expertise in Costa Rica's travel industry allow Foto Verde
to take you wherever you need to go to get the photo that
you want. Paulo also very much enjoys photography and is especially
fond of shooting the cloud forest wildlife that visits his
home in the hills above Costa Rica's capital city San Jose.
