With more than 850 species of resident and migrant birds identified throughout the country, Costa Rica abounds with great bird-watching sites. Lodges with the best bird-watching include Savegre Lodge, in Cerro de la Muerte, off the road to San Isidro de El General (quetzal sightings are almost guaranteed); La Paloma Lodge in Drake Bay, where you can sit on the porch of your cabin as the avian parade goes by; Arenal Observatory Lodge, on the flanks of Arenal Volcano; La Selva Biological Station, in Puerto Viejo de Sarapiquí; Aviarios del Caribe, just north of Cahuita; Lapa Ríos and Bosque del Cabo, on the Osa Peninsula; Rainbow Adventures, on Playa Cativa along the Golfo Dulce; La Laguna del Lagarto Lodge, up by the Nicaraguan border; and Tiskita Lodge, down by the Panamanian border.
