Birding Worldwide with Premier Local Guides and Top Logistical Expertise

Costa Rica Birding Highlights

Costa Rica has the longest standing tradition of eco-tourism services in the Americas. Numerous opportunities for lodging close to excellent birding cross most of the country, proving easy birding starts close to each nights stay.

Most participants on our Costa Rica birding highlights tour find 275 to 325 species.
Some of the key species we find on this tour include Resplendent Quetzal, Great Curassow, Ornate Hawk-Eagle, and Great Potoo.

Costa Rica birding is so competitive that our longer tours remain a great value year after year.
The long eco-tourism in the country has also meant that a good number of well-educated and talented local guides lead our birding tours. We do focus on premier local guides – some of the best in Costa Rica.
