DEEP IN THE FOREST · BIRDWATCHING

Sunset Birds

This tour is a rewarding way to end the day. As the sun begins to set over the Osa Peninsula, many birds become easier to spot and the forest takes on a different rhythm.

Your guide will help you listen for specific calls, identify species, and notice the subtle movements taking place through the canopy and forest edges.

Highlights may include Fiery-billed Aracaris, Scarlet Macaws, Black-hooded Antshrikes, Slaty-tailed Trogons, Golden-naped Woodpeckers, as well as manakins, honeycreepers, and tanagers. Migratory species vary throughout the year.

GOLDEN HOUR

A Different Rhythm in the Forest

Late afternoon brings a subtle shift to the rainforest. Temperatures soften, the light changes, and bird activity becomes easier to notice.

Calls become an important part of the experience, helping your guide locate species that might otherwise remain hidden among the leaves.

It is a relaxed way to observe the extraordinary birdlife of the Osa while watching the forest transition toward evening.
