As part of the Caribbean Biodiversity
Hotspot, and a BirdLife´s Endemic Bird
Area (EBA 029 - Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands), Puerto Rico is a small
paradise for birders.  Whether you are
exploring our national territory on your
own or with one of our Guides, these half
day birding trips are the perfect option if
you are short of time or if  you want to
combine different scenarios.
We are a full-licensed birding operator
with all permits from the Government
(Certified Tour Guide/Driver, vehicles) to
offer our services islandwide.

welcome!

  • El Yunque National Forest - Only 45 minute drive from
    San Juan, El Yunque is a must see nature wonder.  We
    have special permits to go birding to the Forest before
    and after the gates are open/close to the general public.  
    On previous full-day birding trips we have spotted 16 of
    our 17 endemic species.

  • Eastern Region - Low elevations and strong winds off
    the ocean are responsible for Puerto Rico´s second
    subtropical dry forest area.  Six endemics species, plus
    eastern tip specialties:  Antillean Crested Hummingbird
    and Green-throated Carib.  

  • Caguas - Consider part of the Eastern-Central Region,
    the town of Caguas is located 30 minutes from San Juan
    which makes it an excellent option for late departure
    cruise ships or flights.  

  • North Belt Region - Puerto Rico has two major karst
    regions, northern and southern.  The northern karst
    covers an imaginary line from San Juan International
    Airport to Aguadilla/Punta Borinquen International
    Airport.  Three half-day birding trips within this region:  
    Old San Juan, San Juan/Piñones, and Arecibo.  Looking
    for our Parrot?  This is the best option.

  • West / Southwest - This is home of three of our rarest
    birds:  Elfin Woods Warbler, Yellow-shouldered Blackbird,
    and Nightjar.  Except for the Parrot, 16 out of 17 endemic
    species are found in this region.  The diversity of habitat
    allows us to suggest six alternatives:   Cartagena Lagoon,
    Salt Flats, Maricao, Guánica, Mayagüez, and Guajataca.

If you want to see all the endemic species, we
suggest a full-day birding trip or the Western
Endemic Bird Trail.  You can also combine
two options.  A night option is available for
the Nightjar.
