Voices of the Forest: Costa Rica Birdwatching Tour

Written by César Otárola on April 23, 2025. Posted in Birdwatching.

A route built around the birds, not around the map. From Alajuela you work up to the Arenal area for lowland and foothill species, then into the Monteverde cloud forest, one of the most reliable places on earth to find the Resplendent Quetzal. You drop to Palo Verde in Guanacaste, a wetland alive with herons, storks and migratory waterbirds, before looping back. Naturalist guides are with you throughout, scopes ready.

Highlights: quetzals at Monteverde, wetland birding at Palo Verde, foothill species around Arenal.

Best for: keen birders, from first tick to serious life-lister. We shape the route around your target species.

This is a sample itinerary. We tailor every trip to your dates, pace, hotels and budget — just tell us what you would like to change.

Written by César Otárola on April 23, 2025. Posted in Birdwatching.

Few countries pack this much birdlife into so little ground. Costa Rica logs more than 900 species across cloud forest, lowland rainforest, dry forest and wetland, often within a few hours’ drive of each other. This is a tailor-made birding trip: you travel with naturalist guides who know where the specials show up, from highland quetzals to lowland macaws and toucans and Guanacaste’s waterbirds, and we build the days around the birds you most want to see.

Highlights: 900+ species, expert naturalist guides, habitats from cloud forest to wetland.

Best for: birders who want a route tailored to their list and pace, whatever their level.

Family Explorer: Volcano, Rainforest & Beach

Written by César Otárola on June 8, 2024. Posted in Family Vacations.

Three classic Costa Rican settings, gentle enough for younger children. You start around the Arenal volcano with waterfalls and zip-lining, move to the Monteverde cloud forest for wildlife in the treetops, and finish at Quepos and Manuel Antonio, where the small national park is one of the surest places to spot sloths and monkeys, with beaches right alongside.

Highlights: Arenal waterfalls and zip-lines, Monteverde wildlife, sloths and beaches at Manuel Antonio.

Best for: families with younger kids who want variety without long travel days.
