Rainforest DeepData Expedition 2026

Tamandua Biological Station, Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica

Tamandua Biological Station

Journey deep into the tropical heart of the Golfo Dulce Forest Reserve at Tamandua Biological Station, located next to Costa Rica’s iconic Corcovado National Park on the Osa Peninsula—one of the world’s most biodiverse regions. Surrounded by pristine primary forest, bungalows, trails, rivers, and waterfalls, this private reserve offers the perfect setting for an immersive expedition into rainforest science and conservation.

As part of KwF’s Rainforest DeepData Expedition, you will actively deploy bioacoustic sensors, participate in simulations, and learn about signal processing and the crucial role sentinel species play in protecting the ecosystem. This hands-on experience provides unique insight into cutting-edge technologies used to decode animal communication and monitor rainforest health in real time.

With limited electricity and internet access, you’ll disconnect from everyday distractions and fully immerse yourself in the sounds and secrets of the rainforest, forging a deep connection to this vital ecosystem.

Join us for this extraordinary journey—explore remote wilderness, engage in groundbreaking research, and help protect some of Earth’s most endangered wildlife.
