bird watching tours

Hacienda Baru is an excellent destination for Costa Rica Ecotourism, Bird Watching and Wildlife Observation. The Ecolodge is surrounded by Hacienda Baru National Wildlife Refuge which conserves 330 hectares (815 acres) of tropical rainforest, mangrove, wetlands, river bank, and beach front. This wide variety of ecosystems means a high level of biodiversity, and that is why Bird Watchers have sighted over 350 species on the refuge. The six rustic cabins are nice and comfortable. The open air restaurant serves delicious typical Costa Rican dishes at popular prices. Within the gardens surrounding the lodge you will find a butterfly garden, an orchid garden and a bird watching tower. Nine ecological tours are available including rainforest canopy tours, hiking tours, overnight tours and bird watching tours. Hacienda Baru has been catering to Ecotourism and Birding in Costa Rica for more than 20 years.There are numerous species of birds in our Southern Costa Rica Pacific area to delight the birdwatching enthusiast. From the porch of your private Costa Rica vacation rental house at TREE TOP COTTAGES you will be entertained for hours! (Bring your binoculars) Or take a guided birdwatching tour from one of our local nature centers here in the Dominica area.

The guides, many from local Costa Rica communities, are knowledgeable and have been familiar with the local flora and fauna since childhood. They are friendly, sharp-eyed and well trained in birdwatching. There are several birdwatching adventures offered in the Dominical area- from lowland birdwatching tours to rainforest birdwatching hikes.

You may spot tanagers, trogans, motmots, antshrikes, honeycreepers, parrots, toucans, hummingbirds, hawks, ospreys, egrets, ibis, and many others.

In addition to birdwatching, take a tree canopy tour, zip-line through the trees, or take a guided nature hike at a Hacienda Baru Nature Preserve
