Costa Rica Set Departure - Central America

Costa Rica packs more bird diversity into a small country than almost anywhere else in the Americas, and this set departure is built to see as much of it as possible in one trip. Cloud forest, lowland rainforest, volcanic slopes and both coasts all get time on the itinerary, so the bird list keeps growing from the first morning to the last.

The tour targets the marquee species people come for, like Resplendent Quetzal, a long list of trogons and motmots, and more hummingbirds than you can reasonably keep track of. Alongside them are the quieter birds that reward patience, from antbirds in the understory to tanagers moving through the canopy.

Set departures run on fixed dates, so you can plan ahead and join a small group of birders with the same focus. Mornings start early, the pace stays steady and the guiding is hands on, with time built in for photography and for just standing still and letting the forest come to you.
