About Costa Rica: Culture of Conservation Multi-Day International Tour
Costa Rica may be the epicenter of modern-day ecotourism, but many people forget that it had one of the highest rates of deforestation in Central America in the late 1980s. What did Costa Rica do to turn things around so drastically and become a world leader in sustainable tourism? Join Birding Man on a 10-day adventure exploring biodiversity conservation, Costa Rican culture and governance, and ecotourism.

Costa Rica: Culture of Conservation Tour Reviews
This tour is a MUST DO! Ryan is such an accommodating and salt of the earth kind of human. He did not disappoint! We hiked out to an amazing vista with breathtaking views all around for a wonderful picnic, stopping to appreciate the abundance of wildlife the Rocky Mountains has to offer along the way.
This is hands down the best guided tour our family
has ever been on. Ryan’s personality, charisma and abundant kindness made it feel as though we were all family.
Best bird tour we ever took. Ryan’s knowledge is unsurpassed. We saw Golden eagles, Swainson’s, Red tail, Burrowing Owls, waterfowl, and loads of songbirds…52 species in one day. Thanks!
My wife and I had an absolutely fantastic experience on the Beak and Talon tour! Ryan helped us learn SO much in just the one adventure. Aside from getting us so close to six species of mesmerizing raptors, Ryan is such an experienced, fun, informative, and hospitable guide. Usually the thought of spending the entire day in the car with a complete stranger would make us shy away from an experience like this, but Ryan was so genuine and interesting to speak with the time truly flew by.
Any adventure with Birding Man I would confidently say is an experience you wouldn’t want to miss!
