Filmed mostly at Selva Verde, La Selva and San Gerardo de Dota (Savegre), but including a few other locations.

In the forest it was dark a lot of the time (because of the forest as well as the weather) and so I was filming at very high ISO. I have therefore cleaned the worst of the grain from some of the footage using Topaz Video AI - and even then I had to use a couple of post production tricks.
