Description

⚠ IMPORTANT NOTES:

We primarily charge a small deposit online and the remaining balance in cash to avoid the high fees imposed by local banks. If you prefer to pay the full amount online, the price will increase slightly to cover these fees.

🔹 Park Entrance Fee Not Included
Our guide may adjust the birdwatching location depending on weather conditions and bird activity. Factors such as wind, rain, storms, fruiting trees, feeding patterns, and seasonal behaviors all influence where the birds are found. For this reason, entrance fees are not collected in advance. You will pay the fee directly at the reserve, and our guide will assist you with the process.

This flexibility is essential because our guides are in the forest every day and know exactly where key species are perching, feeding, or moving. Iconic birds such as the Resplendent Quetzal and the Three-wattled Bellbird constantly shift locations throughout the cloud forest based on food availability, weather changes, and breeding behavior.

By allowing our guides to choose the location on the same morning of the tour, we give you the best possible chance to see these remarkable species and enjoy an exceptional birdwatching experience.

ⓘ Important Tour Info
We offer two options for this birdwatching tour:

1. Monteverde Square, Paseo de Stella & Curi-Cancha Reserve

2. Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve

For late November and early December, our chief guide, Adrian Méndez, and our team of guides recommend the first option — Monteverde Square (CASEM), Paseo de Stella & Curi-Cancha Reserve.

The main reason is the wind conditions typical of this time of year. The Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve is denser, which can make bird observation more challenging, while Curi-Cancha Reserve and the surrounding areas provide more open and sheltered trails, allowing for better bird activity and visibility.

That said, we are more than happy to guide your tour at either location, depending on your personal preference.
