Costa Rica is truly a small piece of paradise nestled between two major oceans and packed with exotic and abundant biodiversity.

Thanks to the country variety of regions and terrain, Bird Watching has become quite the attraction among locals and visitors as well. Costa Rica proudly boasts of having over 850 species of birds in its relatively small area. Clearly this variety of species tops the total amount of species in North America, thus attracting large amounts of bird lovers year round.

Costa Rica’s government and authorities have been very careful and strict about maintaining the country protected areas by assigning hundreds of acres as National Parks, Wild Refuges and National Patrimony areas.

A thorough and professional guided tour can be easily arranged and can guarantee a fun and educational experience. The beauty of bird watching in Costa Rica is due to the fact that different climatic and geographical regions can be easily accessed in just short distances. Visitors are fascinated by the variety observed in rain forests, mangroves, swamps, rivers, cloud forests and beaches to name a few.

Aside from the country variety in bird species is its affordable and attractive tourist infrastructure. Accommodations are as diverse as the country species. Costa Rica offers hotels as well as the more rustic and low budget typical cabinas and lodges.

Tours for bird watching can be set up for areas such as the high lands, Caribbean, North and South Pacific as well as the Central Valley. The Quetzal, Frigate bird and Jabir? are just few of species you will certainly catch a glimpse of.
