About this tour
Our tour begins early, at 5:30 a.m., just as nature awakens and birdsong accompanies the first light of day. This time allows us to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere and take advantage of the best conditions for birdwatching. We will take a relaxed walk through the community of Palmar Norte, suitable for all ages. The route winds through open areas and vegetation, offering excellent opportunities to observe and listen to a wide variety of bird species native to the region. During the experience, you will be accompanied by a certified local guide, passionate about nature and knowledgeable about the community's biodiversity. Along the way, you will learn to identify different species and discover interesting facts about their behavior, the ecosystem, the forest, and the natural history of this area. For those who prefer to enjoy nature at the end of the day, we also offer an afternoon option at 2:30 p.m., when the warm light of sunset transforms the landscape and provides a special atmosphere for birdwatching and enjoying the tranquility of the place. An experience to walk, observe, learn and connect with nature from a local and authentic perspective.
