Quetzales Birdwatching Tour

Quetzales Birdwatching Tour

Embark on an unforgettable 8-hour expedition from sea level to the cloud forests of the Talamanca Mountains, more than 2,800 meters (9,200 ft) above sea level, in search of the elusive Resplendent Quetzal, one of the most sought-after birds in the Americas. We set out before dawn to arrive when the quetzal is most active, giving you the best chance to see and photograph it in its natural habitat. Then, enjoy a traditional Costa Rican breakfast cooked over a wood-fired stove at a local restaurant surrounded by even more birdlife, including the Emerald Toucanet, many species of hummingbirds, orioles, tanagers and more. Our hassle-free transportation takes you from your pickup point to the mountains and back.
