Bonjour LIliane,
Pour faire des photos aussi belles sinon mieux c'est facile mais pour voir les ours il faut aller tout de même dans les bons endroits et je ne saurai que te conseiller de prévoir un déplacement sur Brooks Camp dans Katmai park.
IL faut prendre un coucou à Anchorage pour KIng Salmon et ensuite un hydravion pour Brooks. Il y a pas mal d'organismes qui font ça au départ d'Ancho mais c'est très cher et l'organiser sois même c'est quasi impossible car il faut pouvoir dormir sur Brooks et là pas simple.
Pour ma part j'ai choisi "Grand Frisson" avec qui je suis parti plusieurs fois et qui organise des séjours uniquement ours avec dépose en hydravion dans des coins paumés mais oh combien riche en grizzlis et autre faune de toutes sortes, jamais déçu!
De plus Lionel et Christiane sont un couple de français vivant depuis plus de 25 ans en Alaska et connaissent parfaitement ces plantigrades, avec eux il n'y a pas de "chichi" mais c'est du vrai, du sauvage!
Merci pour être passée sur mon blog 😉.
Hi everyone,
It took us a long time to readjust after our last trip—the contrast with our daily life was just so stark.
Everything felt so simple and natural there... We were in this green paradise at the end of May 2026.
Our itinerary included: Manuel Antonio National Park and its beaches, Quepos and its marina (with a beautiful pair of scarlet macaws along the way), a photo stop at Crocodile Bridge on the way back to San José, and then the Caribbean coast with Cahuita National Park (an 8 km trail with caimans, sloths, and a tour with a local guide). We wrapped up with Tortuguero, accessible only by boat, before a final stop in the tropical rainforest of Sarapiquí and its stunning Selva Verde Lodge.
