This reserve is a haven for birdwatchers, boasting sightings of over 200 bird species, including the stunning Resplendent Quetzals and vibrant Emerald Toucanettes. As you traverse the groomed trails of this 205-acre sanctuary, your bilingual naturalist guide will enhance your experience by identifying and showcasing the rich biodiversity, from colorful birds to elusive mammals like Two-Toed Sloths and Spider Monkeys.
