THE WORLD’S #1 DESTINATION FOR BIRDING

BIRDING IN PANAMA

Reader’s Digest named Panama as the world’s #1 destination for tropical birding, and with good reason. Our rainforests are filled with tropical birds, including many unique species that are difficult to find elsewhere. Soberina Park and Darien National Park were specifically highlighted. We frequently run bird watching tours to both of these world class destinations.

Pirre Mountain, in Darien National Park, reaches an elevation of 5,400. Here visitors can view unique species of resident and migratory birds. The diversity of the Darien means guests can enjoy a variety of common and extremely rare species. Contrast a hike up to the mountain with a lowland trail to truly experience these different biomes. Garceth’s expert guiding in these world class parks create a magical birding experience.
