We will explore coastal estuaries, freshwater marshes, tropical forests of the Pacific lowlands, rain forests of Caribbean slopes, treeless paramo and cloud forests in the highlands. Each habitat hosts a different mix of birds. We should easily see 350 species on this tour. Jack' s objective in choosing destinations has been to find comfortable lodges in biologically diverse locations - a perfect combination that assures a successful birding vacation. A cool breeze keeps temperatures delightful at this attractive, family-owned lodge in the foothills.
Passengers travel in groups of four people.
Each foursome rides in its own safe, gondola-style car, with its own nature guide. Periodically along the tram route, cars stop to allow close-up examination of flora and fauna. Wonderful photos of the rain forest canopy, and the forest floor below, are guaranteed. The tram ride is 1.6 miles long and lasts approximately 90 minutes. In addition to riding the tram, our group will bird on productive trails that meander through the tram grounds.
