If you’ve always wanted to go birding in Costa Rica—or never taken a birding trip abroad—this program is a great introduction to the neotropical birds of Central America. Join ASNV December 2-9, 2023 to spend time in the Caribbean lowlands and the mountainous southern highlands, seeking out species typical of the differing elevations and habitats. Our local birding guides are experts at identification by both sight and sound, and they’ll help ensure your group spots as many of the country’s 900-plus species as possible. Costa Rica is a perfect destination for beginners and more advanced birders because of its combination of diverse bird species, friendly people, and accessibility.
