For Custom Expedition Inquiry

This expedition takes you across Costa Rica’s diverse landscapes, from cloud forests to lowland rainforests, in search of some of the country’s most sought-after and unique bird species.

You’ll travel between regions with expert guides, exploring habitats known for their rich birdlife and biodiversity. Spot rare and endemic species, learn to identify calls and behaviors, and gain a deeper understanding of the ecosystems that support them.

Each day offers new environments and opportunities, whether you’re observing from forest trails, open landscapes, or canopy viewpoints. The experience is both relaxed and immersive, designed for those who want to slow down, observe, and truly connect with the natural world.

When you’re not in the field, you’ll enjoy comfortable eco-lodges and boutique accommodations, with transportation, meals, and guided excursions all included — so you can focus entirely on the experience.

This is more than a birding trip — it’s an opportunity to explore Costa Rica through its wildlife, landscapes, and the moments you’d otherwise miss.

Accomodations

Stay in a mix of eco-lodges and boutique hotels, selected for their proximity to key birding locations and natural surroundings.

Arrive in either San José (Juan Santamaría International Airport) or Liberia (Daniel Oduber Quirós International Airport), depending on the specific itinerary. From there, all in-country transportation is included and takes place by private bus, van, or 4×4 as you travel between regions.

Designed For: Bird lovers, photographers, nature enthusiasts
