El Bosque Birdwatching Tour

El Bosque Birdwatching Tour

Spot Many Birds in Monteverde Without Walking Too Much!
If you love birdwatching but you cannot walk too much El Bosque is the right place is for you. The grounds are very flat, and in just a couple of steps you will cover different landscapes with great view points, and with the proper equipment and the keen eye of a local expert it is easy to spot as many as 30 bird species, from small Hummingbirds to beautiful Blue-crowned Motmots and Keel-billed Toucans, without walking long distances or going too much up and down. The tour is 3 hours but it's a very light walk, stopping to spot many birds as the opportunity arises.

Less Touristy, More Authentic - Small Groups Only
El Bosque is focused on less touristy, more authentic tours. This is why, the Birdwatching Tour is exclusive to very small groups of 4 people and it ends with a typical Costa Rican breakfast (to share anecdotes and pictures with your tour guide) and a map so you can keep exploring our trails on your own.

Itinerary

Monteverde is home to more than 400 bird species and El Bosque is perfectly located at the heart of the Monteverde Biological Corridor Pajaro Campana, which is extremely important for the survival of many highly endangered species such as the Resplendent Quetzal, the Three-Wattled Bellbird and many other creatures that come here when the wild avocados are no longer found in the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve.

With the proper equipment and the keen eye of a local expert, it is easy to spot and learn about as many as 30 bird species with us. You might spot a Toucan, a MotMot, and depending on how much wild avocado is available on the trees, even a Trogon or a Quetzal. You may also find a few types of Hummingbirds in our beautiful gardens or a Bellbird perched up in a tree.
