About this tour

Discover the Beauty of San Gerardo de Dota: A Birdwatcher’s Paradise

With an elevation ranging from 800 to 3,125 meters above sea level, San Gerardo de Dota is a breathtaking destination and the prime nesting area of the Resplendent Quetzal. Known as the most beautiful bird in Central America and one of the top five most beautiful birds on the continent, the Resplendent Quetzal attracts birdwatchers worldwide.

San Gerardo de Dota is also home to the Savegre River, recognized as the cleanest river in Central America. This pristine environment offers a perfect backdrop for your birding adventures.

Early Morning Quetzal Tour

Our adventure begins early in the morning, as Quetzals move from lowlands to uplands in search of food. During your tour, you’ll also encounter a variety of other bird species, including hummingbirds, flycatchers, woodpeckers, hawks, parakeets, wrens, and tanagers.

This region is ideal for peaceful hikes and birdwatching, thanks to the preservation efforts of local private landowners who maintain the untouched beauty of San Gerardo de Dota’s forests.

Birdwatching and Breakfast

After a morning of birdwatching and enjoying the Quetzals, we’ll take you to a local spot for breakfast. Later, we’ll descend to the lower lands to spot even more bird species. Throughout the day, we’ll provide water and snacks to keep you energized for continued birding.
