There are multiple locations on the peninsula perfect for birdwatching. Depending on what you want to see we can suggest where to visit.

You may stroll through Puerto Jimenez on any morning and see a variety of birds including the beautiful Scarlet Macaws, Red-lored Parrots, Yellow-throated Toucan or any one of the multiple species of Tanagers in the area.

If you wish to venture a bit further out of town, you may visit Dos Brazos or La Balsa.

Dos Brazos de Rio Tigre is located in the mountains, just 25 minutes from Puerto Jimenez. For bird lovers, this is an experience like no other.  During this tour, you’ll have the opportunity to see around 60 species of birds in one morning.
