 One of the best of the ambient background seriesApr 14, 2010
By Barbara B.
I have a large collection of this type of disk and this is one of the best, both for the quality of the images and the content itself. What you have to understand is that this is NOT a documentary or a travelogue -- it is "eye candy" normally used as background visuals (with or without music and sounds). It has soothing and beautiful shots of hummingbirds, waterfalls, and other natural settings but it isn't really meant to be "watched" like a movie. Put it on in the background while you're in the room reading or having a party and allow it to loop continuously. At least that's what I do, and it's spectacular -- I look up now and then and always seem to see something I didn't see the first 1098 times I watched it!

meant for relaxationMar 10, 2010
By wisdomstar
The whole point of the living landscapes blu-ray series is to have a tape where you can relax - choose either nature sounds or music - no voice over telling you how all this is disappearing because we're bulldozing it down or shooting the animals. The program is about an hour long but it loops around and plays again so that if you are napping you are not disturbed. Or as another reviewer suggests, you can have it on when you have guests over as background. It is just what it says it is - a living landscape that you can visit without needing shots, a passport and 4 hours of security checks at the airport. highly recommended.

amazing photographyMar 07, 2010
By Susan M. Campbell
"former movie watcher"
I will watch this one over and over. It is so full of beauty and unusual sights. The photographer had to have such patience to get these shots. I could never see stuff like this as a traveler or tourist. I saw insects, birds, and bigger animals that I did not know existed. And they all seemed to exist in such perfect harmony with their surroundings. Watching this DVD is a truly inspiring experience. I kept thinking over and over, "how did he get those shots?"

Like Planet Earth but without the NarrationMar 16, 2009
By M. Moll
"Nature707"
This DVD is absolutely stunning. I first bought the 10 Most Beautiful Places DVD and fell in love with the stunning videography, music and nature sounds. Now I have most of the DVD's. The Costa Rica one is absolutely amazing. It has video of waterfalls, ocean, hummingbirds and butterflies, parrots and more...The hummingbird footage is spectacular. I've never seen such clear footage of this amazingly small, beautiful creature. I facilitate meditation and literally these DVD's are an awesome visual meditation! Getting out in nature and enjoying its' beauty is a meditation, and these DVD's make you feel like you are right there! I can't wait to start watching the Pacific Coast, Hawaii and others that I have...I would highly recommend this to anyone. The Planet Earth segments have received national attention from Oprah and more, but these are better in my opinion! They don't contain narration (and therefore have that "educational" feel) so you can just sit back and enjoy the beauty!

 Beautiful video of Cloudforests and Rainforests of Costa RicaMay 30, 2010
By Lee H. Skinner
This is a gorgeous video of the lush and tropical cloud forests and rain
forests of Costa Rica in Central America. The audio also captures a
wide variety of beautiful wild animal voices throughout the program that
greatly adds to the visual experience. The vistas vary from forest
floors and canopies to rushing waterfalls. The numerous jungle scenes
are interspersed with many moving close-up images of butterflies,
hummingbirds, frogs, flowers, parrots, lizards, monkeys and other
residents of this great multi-species habitat. This would be a great
addition to any nature video library.
