The Costa Rican Bird Route is the first birding trail of its kind in Central America. Located in the northern region of Costa Rica, this ecotourism project offers a variety of bird watching and nature tourism opportunities. The Bird Route consists of 15 nature reserves specifically chosen for their high diversity of bird species. Most importantly, this region hosts the last remaining habitat in Costa Rica for the endangered Great Green Macaw (Ara ambiguus). The Costa Rican Bird Route offers the best opportunity to view this species on the planet!

This project is being implemented to promote the conservation of bird habitat and biological diversity within the San Juan – La Selva Biological Corridor of northeastern Costa Rica by improving bird tourism in the region. Bird tourism will bring economic opportunities for local landowners and local communities via visiting bird watchers and other eco-tourists, providing an economic incentive for habitat conservation.

By visiting the Bird Route you will not only see amazing biodiversity, but you will also be helping to maintain the ecological integrity of one of the world’s most biologically diverse places. Come and explore all that the Bird Route has to offer. Accommodations range from high-end lodges to home-stays, but at all the sites you will find the same thing: great places, great birds and great people.
