Costa Rica is an all round destination, good food, great accommodation, scenically beautiful, fantastic wildlife and wonderfully friendly people. It always amazes me how varied a landscape such a small country offers and the diversity of birds reflects the great range of habitats present. If you haven’t yet been then go or at least put it on your life’s wish list! By way of relaxing before and after our main tour, we booked an extra night prior to the start and at the end of our birding tour. We used the Hotel Bougainvillea in San Jose as our start and end point. I thoroughly recommend this hotel, set within its own grounds, beautifully landscaped and with several birds and plants to interest those given to strolling through gardens at their own pace.

More and more birdwatchers and nature lovers are visiting the Serranía de Ronda than ever! The last five years has seen a spectacular rise in the number of visitors to this wild part of Spain, whose main purpose is to observe the birds and nature in general of the Serranía.  The many varied habitats present the birdwatcher with an incredible range of bird species, whilst the botanist has over 2,000 varieties of  wild plants and many orchids to choose from! At all times of the year, the Serranía de Ronda can present wonderful opportunities for exploring fauna and flora. It is a must visit area of Europe, so why not join us on one of our birding day tours in the area and experience an Andalucía wilderness. The South of Spain is at your door step
