We are excited to work with our friends from Horizontes Nature Tours to deliver this incredible trip. Horizontes is a premier, sustainability-focused Costa Rican tour operator that has been designing custom, private wildlife and adventure vacations since 1984. Dedicated to responsible tourism, the company crafts tailor-made itineraries led by local naturalist guides while reinvesting a significant portion of its revenue into regional conservation and community development.
For this trip, you will discover the incredible diversity of Costa Rica on an unforgettable birding adventure through cloud forests, premontane rainforest, and tropical lowlands. Begin among the lush forests of Arenal, with birding at Arenal Observatory and a walk across the spectacular Mistico Hanging Bridges. Explore the rich biodiversity of La Selva, where daytime birding, a nocturnal hike, and a river tour reveal the remarkable wildlife of the lowlands. Continue to Rancho Naturalista, renowned for its premontane rainforest and exceptional birding opportunities. From there, journey into the high-elevation cloud forests of Savegre in search of even more species. Grab your binoculars, your sense of adventure, and join us for an extraordinary journey through some of the country’s most spectacular habitats.
