BIRD WATCHING IN RANCHO LA MERCED WILDLIFE REFUGE

Since 1917 the conservation of diverse natural habitats found in the Refuge, has attracted many birds, mammals insects and reptiles, who have found in the refuge a sanctuary for feeding and reproduction in the rainforest, wetlands and mangroves.

Its proximity to the beach and the Ballena Marine National Park will also give you the chance to observe some interesting sea shore species.

 

The guides will take you in an incredible half day walk helping you spot the numerous birds found in the refuge, explain their behavior and share with you other valuable information of this neotropical sanctuary and its birds. It is quite common to spot about 50 to 60 species in a morning, and wo knows? you might add a new species to your list!
