Birding tour to El Iral Bosque Nuboso

Fabian Robles is an excellent bird tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about birds and nature. As previously arranged he picked us up at 6 am and drove us to the El Iral Bosque Nuboso. (El Iral Cloud Forest) We corresponded through WhatsApp beforehand and asked what birds we would like to find. Fabian found 28 different birds which we could view close up through the scope he carried, and he led us up and down through the beautiful mountain scenery considerate of our different physical abilities. It was interesting to start the day with sunshine and amazing views, and gradually watch the clouds blanketing everything. To help us remember all of the birds, Fabian provided us with the list of birds we saw and the close up photographs and videos he took through his scope. We enjoyed a delicious lunch in the restaurant while it was raining, watched the Hummingbirds at the feeders, and then drove back to San Jose. We saw many beautiful birds and learned about Costa Rica too, a great day.

Max was our guide and he was very very knowledgeable. We may have walked a couple of miles but we saw and was able to take photos. He pointed out over 32 different birds. This tour exceeded our expectations. We had an excellent lunch at the restaurant located on the property and saw the water falls that was also located on the property.
