Getting to our lodge is easy from either San Jose or Liberia, and once here you can take advantage of our extensive trails, multiple birding observation platforms, two feeding stations, and a 35-foot high bamboo canopy tower (seen above), where you can easily observe and photograph colorful toucans, euphonias, honeycreepers, and hundreds more.

Some of the best sites could be the Guacalillo Road, roads near Ensenada, and roads near Liberia but there are many places to explore, many areas with suitable habitat. Take most roads from just north of Tarcoles all the way to the border and the birding will be good.

Bird-interesting places that come to mind are the forests north of Rincon de la Vieja, natural oak savannas near Liberia, forests in south-eastern Costa Rica, and middle elevation sites connected to Braulio Carrillo National Park. It would be nice to visit sites that are little birded and the few places in Costa Rica I have never been.

Liberia: This northern town gets a mention because it has its own airport. Several places to stay, excellent lowland forest birding around some of the hotels and in private reserves, and a good chance at fancies like Great Green Macaw, Snowy Cotinga , toucans, and more. A distant look at a Great Green Macaw.
