Perfect place for birding honey birds. Our guide leaded us to two” fin-car” in KM18. Both has amazing amount of birds. Thank you Calina for this wonderful memory. We even had a wonderful lunch together thanks again for your hospitality & kindness.
Cali is the best place to do Birdwatching and we are so happy you had the opportunity to see a lot of birds. Thank you
The whole experience starting from the drive to the finca “bosque de niebla”, the family welcome at the finca with coffee and breakfast and the knowledgable guide for bird watching, was excellent. We saw many beautiful birds including toucanets, tanagers of many different colours, barbets, eagles, humming birds and many more. It was a real treat for the eyes and suited us as immature bird watchers. The experience of having coffee and breakfast on the terrace with these beautiful birds feeding on the bananas, seeds etc put out by the family is going to stay with us. The driver, the family and the guide were truly very nice. However we felt the tour was a bit too costly and not cost effective.
We greatly appreciate your sincere and descriptive recommendation. Most of our experiences are highly personalized and therefore have a higher value, because we take care of every detail. Thank you very much for choosing us.
Ride, breakfast and bird watching were absolute class. 10/10! We could see over 40 different birds! We were picked up on time directly from the hotel. I've never seen such biodiversity! Great guide who could also explain a lot of the birds! We even had the opportunity to witness a tarantula up close!
125 / 5,000 Großartig, wir freuen uns, dass Sie die Gelegenheit hatten, mehrere Arten zu sehen und dass es Ihnen gefallen hat. Vielen Dank, dass Sie sich für uns entschieden haben
Wonderful trip. Beautiful scenery and relaxed experience. The birds were plentiful and so easy to observe at the feeding stations. The Multicolored Tanager was something else :) The guides were great. Asherita’s passion for her conservation work was inspiring. Highly recommended.
Aww Thank you very much for a lovely review, we are more than happy you had done this experience
