Birding in Costa Rica is an incredible adventure, and few places, with such comfortable accommodations as Finca Los Caballos Natue Lodge, have such an assortment of species. Costa Rica, as a whole, has over 870 species, and being close to the ocean, Finca Los Caballos has quite an assortment of the tropical, lowlands variety. With literally thousands of acres around us of farm land, first and second growth forests, you’ll be sure to observe many birds. Birders love the private, quiet and relaxed atmosphere of our lodge, allowing for great birdwatching opportunities, right here, and closeby. Be sure to bring your binoculars, but not only for the birds, but for the monkeys, sloths, and other wildlife.
