    About

    A complete day of bird watching across Monteverde and its surrounding habitats with a specialist guide. More hours and more habitat changes mean a higher realistic species count and plenty of time for photography, with an optional lunch stop at a reserve restaurant. It runs as a private guide service: the route is adapted to conditions, light and what is being seen that week. Reserve entrances and lunch are quoted separately. Transport to the meeting point is quoted separately by hotel and zone. Sightings are never guaranteed.
