About this experience
Discover the magic of Monteverde’s cloud forest with our exclusive Birdwatching Tour at Woodpecker Conservation Preserve. Named after the four species of woodpeckers that live here, this reserve offers a unique experience for bird lovers and nature enthusiasts.
As you walk peaceful forest trails, the sounds of birds bring the forest to life, you may hear the call of the endemic Three Wattled Bellbird, see the vibrant Keel Billed Toucan, or witness the playful dance of the Long Tailed Manakin.
Our brand new observation platform provides stunning panoramic views of the forest canopy, surrounding mountains, and even the Gulf of Nicoya, perfect for spotting lowland and highland species.
Led by a certified naturalist guide, this tour combines expert knowledge, personalized attention, and a deep connection to nature. Don’t forget your camera, every step offers the chance for breathtaking encounters with Monteverde’s birdlife. Join us for an experience that goes far beyond birdwatching.
