Costa Rica is globally recognized for its rich biodiversity and as one of the best birding and wildlife viewing destinations in the world. Nowhere else on the planet can you witness the passage of millions of raptors during migration in one day, while catching a glimpse at quetzals and other amazing species in the dense rain forest the next day.

What doesn’t stand out so much is the richness in Costa Rican culture that is diverse and enriched by the warmth of the Costa Ricans. When it comes to cultural diversity, Costa Rica`s history is the makeup of our indigenous heritage, the Spanish colonization and the arrival of Caribbean, Chinese, Indian, Arab and European settlers to create a melting pot of languages, flavors, shades, and spices. To these cultures, we add the tropical flavors and freshness of their cuisine, and Costa Rican food becomes a culinary delight! With this birding tour, we aim to provide one of the best opportunities to experience it all.
