Esquipulas

Various localities around Manuel Antonio are suggested as great birding areas to observe Central and South Pacific endemic species. Esquipulas is our favorite and is located 35 min out of Manuel Antonio only, at the Talamanca mountain foothills. This important rainforest extension is favoring altitudinal and longitudinal ecological processes among the Central and South Pacific.

Different habitats located in Naranjito are visited during this half day road birding trip, this area is quite productive for Yellow-throated Toucans, Fiery-billed Aracaris, Trogons, Turquoise Cotinga, King Vulture, Hawks, Flycatchers, Manakins, Golden-naped Woodpeckers, Woodcreepers, Shiny Honeycreepers, Tanagers, White-crested Coquettes, diverse mixed flocks and great hawk watching if the weather conditions are appropiate.

Join our most popular local birdwatching trip, let’s go birding.
