Our situation on
the tip of the Nicoya peninsula close to marine, freshwater and tropical forest
habitats
makes us an ideal Birdwatching base for birdwatchers and nature lovers.
CABO BLANCO
NATURE RESERVE (only 2 km away) offers well marked trails through virgin
forest.
We are just 1 km from River Lajas where you can spot ROSEATE SPOONBILLS
and a wide variety of
KINGFISHERS and HERONS, or simply take a cooling
dip in its natural pools.
However you don't
even need to leave our gardens to see the TOLEDOS dancing or
the BELLBIRDS which
visit our ylang-ylang trees.
ARACARI, TROGONS and WOODPECKERS
all come to feed on the wide variety of flowering and fruit trees
we have planted.
The following list of birds was compiled by a couple of amateur birdwatchers during several visits to the area.
