Bird Watching
With 12 of the planet’s 18 different life zones, Costa Rica has one of the richest concentration of bird species in the world, currently recorded at 878 species. From the humid lowlands of the Caribbean coast, to the dry tropical climate of the Nicoya Peninsula and up to the high altitude cloud forest in the central region, the incredible abundance of flora and fauna species and wide array of micro-ecosystems makes Costa Rica a bird watcher’s paradise. In one day alone it’s possible to see up to 100 different species including birding favorites such as Quetzals, Trogons, Toucans and the majestic Scarlet Macaw.
Whether you’re flying solo, paired up, or flocking south for the winter, Costa Rica Exotic Travel can arrange all your escorted birding and nature plans across the country.
