A Birdwatcher’s Paradise in the Jungle

  • The Dos Ojos area sits along an active wildlife corridor rich with tropical birds, making sightings unusually frequent and diverse. From dawn to sunset, the jungle comes alive with movement-flycatchers, tanagers, woodpeckers, owls, hummingbirds, trogons and many more species often appear within or near the property.

  • Perfect for birdwatching: Many guests spot “lifers” during their stay, and depending on your skill, luck and time of year, you can observe dozens of species without leaving the area.
     

  • The current record is over 85+ species spotted in one week.
