Bird watching in finca “Bosque de nieblas”
Pratibha K,,Dec 29, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00The whole experience starting from the drive to the finca “bosque de niebla”, the family welcome at the finca with coffee and breakfast and the knowledgable guide for bird watching, was excellent. We saw many beautiful birds including toucanets, tanagers of many different colours, barbets, eagles, humming birds and many more. It was a real treat for the eyes and suited us as immature bird watchers. The experience of having coffee and breakfast on the terrace with these beautiful birds feeding on the bananas, seeds etc put out by the family is going to stay with us. The driver, the family and the guide were truly very nice. However we felt the tour was a bit too costly and not cost effective.

5.00Ride, breakfast and bird watching were absolute class. 10/10! We could see over 40 different birds! We were picked up on time directly from the hotel. I've never seen such biodiversity! Great guide who could also explain a lot of the birds! We even had the opportunity to witness a tarantula up close!
Lovely birding experience.

5.00Wonderful trip. Beautiful scenery and relaxed experience. The birds were plentiful and so easy to observe at the feeding stations. The Multicolored Tanager was something else :) The guides were great. Asherita’s passion for her conservation work was inspiring. Highly recommended.
