Birdwatching Tours

Costa Rica is famous among the most recognized bird watchers, and the interest of people has increased in recent years, due to the great diversity of birds available in the country. With almost 850 species of birds - more than in all of North America - concentrated in an area of ​​just 50 thousand square kilometers, it is easy to understand the enthusiasm with which many travelers come to Costa Rica to achieve a sighting of many species or of any one in particular, according to their objective.
One of the reasons for the extraordinary abundance of birds in Costa Rica is the great variety of habitats in the country: rainforests, cloud and dry forests, beaches, rivers, mangroves. And these different ecosystems, with their own bird species, are generally very close to each other. Bird watchers from North America, for example, who visit Costa Rica in winter, recognize several of these species, since many of them migrate to Costa Rica at this time. In addition, the exemplary system of protected areas and national parks of the country provide a large amount of ideal space for bird watchers, but wherever you are in the country you can find interesting bird species.
