Regular Bird Watching Tour – The birds' paradise in Costa Rica
The Regular Bird Watching Tour is one of the most special experiences offered by Poás Volcano Lodge. Located on the slopes of Poás Volcano, in the heart of one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, the lodge is a privileged starting point for observing endemic, migratory and tropical birds in their natural habitat. This tour is not just an activity: it is a deep immersion in the biodiversity of Costa Rica, where every sunrise brings a concert of species unique in the world. One of the most extraordinary features of this tour is that the observation begins without needing to leave the lodge. The spacious gardens and internal trails of the property are home to dozens of species that visit the area throughout the day. From hummingbirds dancing among the flowers to the yigüirro, the national bird of Costa Rica, every corner of the lodge is the setting for memorable encounters with local wildlife. With the specialized guide, guests learn to identify species by their song, their silhouette and their behavior. The morning walk, when birds are most active, offers the best opportunities for observation and photography. The soft light of dawn turns every sighting into an image worth remembering.
