Birdwatching Tours in Monteverde
Birding starts before the forest wakes up. We enter the reserve at opening time, when the fruiting trees are busiest and the bellbirds are still calling, and we carry a spotting scope so a quetzal high in an avocado tree becomes a full-frame view instead of a silhouette.
Our guides bird Monteverde year round and know which trails are producing that week. Quetzal season peaks around nesting, roughly February to June, but the cloud forest holds hummingbirds, tanagers, guans and trogons in every month — no sighting is ever guaranteed.
