Monteverde Trip Overview
This 2:1 Tour is the only one in the country that combines a birdwatching tour with a jungle tour.
Birding at dusk is great because that’s when birds are going back to their nests to end their day. At El Bosque, the grounds are beautiful and the location is great for birding, especially on the gardens where the forest is younger and lower.
Then it gets dark and other creatures come out on the trails of the property where the forest is more dense… And with a guide and a flashlight, the jungle adventure begins…
Tour groups are small so you will see more and learn more, and with your tour guide and his spotting scope you will be taking some amazing pictures to bring back home.
And when you finish the tour, you can ask for a map to come back the next morning to do more birding on your own and/or to explore the beautiful trail system at NO ADDITIONAL COST.

Itinerary
First we will start with a small introduction where you will be assigned a local tour guide.
Next, you will walk around the grounds of El Bosque Lodge where many birds find shelter to sleep.
This is where you can easily spend up to an hour finding birds sleeping in trees.
Then, you will enter the lodge’s trail system to explore and learn about this preservation area.
This is where you will find a few more birds as well as some of the coolest insects (like walking sticks, tarantulas and leafcutter ants), rare mammals (like porcupines, opossoms, and olingos) and depending on the weather condition perhaps some snakes and frogs.
Finally, you will head back to reception to wrap things up.
This is where you can ask for a map so you can come back the next day to hike the trails on your own (entrance fee is on us!).
