Birdwatching & Photography Expedition with Local Experts
This is a rainforest day, not a beach day. The Bijagua corridor sits on the Caribbean slope between the Tenorio and Miravalles volcanoes, about two hours inland from the Guanacaste coast, and the bird list there has almost nothing in common with the dry forest visitors see from the hotels. Toucans are not birds of this coast — they are birds of that forest, and in Bijagua all three of the region's species are regular, close enough at the feeder gardens for real photographs rather than record shots. The same forest holds Snowcap and Black-crested Coquette, the specialities experienced birders come for, and sloths, which simply are not part of the dry Pacific lowlands. We spend five hours on site, at birding pace, inside private reserves rather than public trails. Your guide works this corridor year-round and keeps public eBird records, so what we tell you about the birds can be checked. Wild birds, wild forest: we promise the time, the access and the eye, never a species list.
