Explore mountain scenery and birdwatching opportunities with local guides. Dress for cool, changeable conditions.

A Guided Forest After Dark

Some reserves offer organized night walks with their own access arrangements. Choose an authorized guide and an outing suited to your family. Use lights as instructed and let wildlife remain undisturbed; darkness does not guarantee sightings.

Coastal Bird Observation at Coco

Use a quiet pause along an established public route to compare birds’ silhouettes and movement. Watch without feeding or approaching nests. Record what you saw and the habitat instead of assuming a particular species will always be present.

Nosara Biological Reserve

Beside Lagarta Lodge, this private reserve brings dry forest and mangrove habitat together. Guided walks offer opportunities to notice roots, leaves and birdlife. Ask the reserve about visitor access and current trail arrangements; wildlife sightings are never guaranteed.
