The bird watching tour adjusts to the client expertise and tries to find the species of interest. A local specialist guide will share all of the knowledge and expertise on the Monteverde bird life. While in the tour, visitors will have the opportunity to choose from the different trail heads in seven of Holdrege’s Life Zones: Tropical moist forest, Premontane moist forest, Premontane wet forest, Lower montane wet forest, Lower montane rain forest, Premontane rain forest, and Tropical wet forest. Monteverde’s geographic location, lay of terrain, and access to both Pacific and Atlantic slopes are key to allow birders admire some of the more than 400 species of birds.

Participants must consider that some of the birds are seasonal; weather might have an impact on activity/sightings and time of day can make a significant difference. It is also necessary to notify the level of expertise prior to the tour. Also, birders should bring binoculars, rain coat, reusable bottle of water and wear appropriate dark clothing. A prior meeting with the assigned guide can be arranged to go over visitors objectives and to make proper decisions to make the most the visit.
