~ Birds and Nature Tour ~
21 April - 3 May, 2025
Explore the incredible natural wonders of Costa Rica. Our 13-day journey will transport us to the must-see birding sites, including Monteverde, La Selva, Arenal and Carara National Park. Our expert local guide will lead us through diverse landscapes in search of the mainland endemic bird species, and an array of other avian Central American gems. We’ll also learn how local conservation groups are protecting birds and their habitats for the future.

For those who want to extend their stay and explore the more remote Osa peninsula, we will visit Corcovado National Park which preserves highly biodiversity rich tropical lowland rainforest. This area located on the southern Pacific coast is described by National Geographic as “one of the most biologically intense places on Earth”. Warm and humid conditions prevail for most of the year providing excellent habitat for lowland rainforest specialties.
