Birdwatching at La Selva

» BIRDS YOU MAY FIND

La Selva has birdwatching fever -
catch it while you can!

The area surrounding La Selva has perhaps the largest species list of birds in the neo-tropics due to its perfect location. This forest is full of birds and there are wondrous sights and sounds for all.

Get ready for the birding experience of a lifetime with our expert native birding guides, the same ones who have led the famous expensive birding tours for over twenty years. The natives speak minimal English, but know the name of all the birds and, more importantly, how to find them and their sounds.

Want your breakfast at 4 am so that you can be in the middle of the forest by daybreak? No problem.

Want your lunch delivered in the forest? We can do that, too. You can also go birdwatching at your leisure during your stay.

Come to the place where the Long-tailed Potoo was first seen, where the Ochre Striped Ant-pitta and the Cocha Antshrike were first documented; come to the world capital of the Zig-zag Heron.

Come to the place where world-renowned bird guide author Ned Wheatley has stated in Where to Watch Birds in South America, that La Selva is "simply one of the world’s best birding sites."
