Quetzal and bird watching tour in San Gerardo de Dota

Costa Rica is, without a doubt, an exceptional and immensely rich country for its biodiversity, scenery, flora, and fauna. Here coexist some of the most attractive species in the world, including the famous Quetzal.

As a matter of fact, in the Copey district, in the Dota canton, you can find the Los Quetzales National Park (76.5 kilometers south of the capital of Costa Rica).

“It´s a special area for bird watching, such as the Quetzal (Pharomachrus mocinno), a near-threatened species according to the IUCN list”, reports the National System of Conservation Areas (SINAC) on its website.

And just 6 km from this national park you will find our Quetzal Viewpoint, where we organize tours to observe Quetzals and other birds. A unique experience that everyone should live at least once in their lives.

Quetzal Tour:

With us, you will be able to discover and enjoy the most beautiful bird in the world. Our experienced guides know where to go, to have a resounding level of success. Can you imagine? It´s one of those stories to tell the grandchildren.

This is a 2-hour adventure, where you will also walk through the forest to find more birds, talk a little about the natural history of this rich ecosystem and show you why this site is a green paradise.

General bird tour:

We offer this educational experience in two options: 2 hours or 4 hours “birding” (bird watching).

You will walk through trails, gardens, along roadsides and rivers, looking for a variety of species such as tanagers, warblers, nuthatches, woodpeckers, quetzals, blackbirds, hummingbirds and much more, including the unique and endemic species of the highlands.

So, with either of these two tours, you can explore the magical colors and sounds of the cloud forest, enjoy the fresh mountain air and take back home, priceless memories.

In addition, if you need lodging and meals, remember that we also have rooms for 2 and up to 6 people, bungalow style, and we have the wonderful gourmet restaurant Atardecer (Sunset), with dishes fit for a king.
