The tour begins in the lovely Talamanca Highlands at Trogon Lodge…
..where Resplendent Quetzals can be found right on the lodge grounds.
Carara is one of the most-diverse birding areas we visit:
…Bare-throated Tiger-Herons can be found at the edge of wet areas…
…and Boat-billed Herons roost during the day along the Tarcoles River.
Southwest Costa Rica specialties, such as this Fiery-billed Aracari…
….and this Orange-collared Manakin reach their northern limit at Carara….n
…while stunning birds, such as Turquoise-browed Motmot, reach their southern distribution here.t
Inside the forest, five species of trogons can be found, including this Black-throated Trogon….
…but birds are not the only attraction; here one of the poison dart frogs.
Monteverde is famous for its lovely Cloud Forest Reserve…
…and the amazing Three-wattled Bellbird.
Seen here at sunrise, Volcán Arenal is one of the most active volcanoes in all of Central America.
The Caribbean slope of Costa Rica is rich in enchanting waterfalls…
…and the birds are splendid too; here a White Hawk at La Virgen del Socorro…
…and here a Chestnut-colored Woodpecker on the entrance road to La Selva Biological Station.
The La Selva area generally offers exciting birding, with birds such as this stunning Chestnut-mandibled Toucan…
…and this Black-cheeked Woodpecker, which built its nest right next to the dining hall of our lodge!
The world’s smallest passerine, Black-capped Pygmy-Tyrant, is common here…
…fancy birds, such as this Broad-billed Motmot, are easily seen…
…and one never knows when a rarity will turn up, like this Agami Heron.
