Ultimate Birdwatching in Caño Negro: Discover Costa Rica’s Premier Birding Refuge
Are you passionate about birdwatching? Caño Negro Wildlife Refuge is one of the top birding hotspots in Costa Rica and offers unforgettable birdwatching experiences year-round. Whether you’re visiting during migration season or seeking to explore the lush wetlands, Caño Negro is a must-visit destination for birding in Costa Rica.
Why Birdwatching in Caño Negro is Extraordinary
In Caño Negro, birdwatching goes from good to excellent. Every day of the year, you can encounter a rich variety of bird species. From November to April, the birding experience gets even better as migrant birds arrive—shorebirds, warblers, Oriols, and many more. During this period, water levels are lower, leading to greater concentration of birds and increased sightings.
During the dry season (February to April), bird concentrations are at their peak, although navigation options are limited to walking around. However, the rainy season (May to December) offers higher water levels, allowing you to navigate the wetlands and discover even more bird species across different habitats.
