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
Birding Man does a fantastic job of mixing birding as well as opportunities to meet and interact with individuals committed to preserving and enhancing their interaction with the natural world. Every area of Costa Rica they arranged for us to see was so special. The food, the people and the wildlife did not disappoint. Thank you for a fantastic trip!
This trip was an incredible birding adventure. We had a great group of people and nonstop excitement. We visited several different kinds of habitats and stayed in amazing lodges. Birding Man took care of everything, from transportation, lodging, and meals to park entries and local guides. We didn’t have to worry about a thing because it was all prearranged on our behalf, allowing us to focus exclusively on the overall experience and birding. The price was great too. There’s no way we would have been able to do everything we did during this trip for the money without booking this tour. The group logged 308 species total, and my wife and I saw 242 lifers in just 8 days. We simply could not have been that successful if we had tried to do this kind of trip on our own. I fully recommend Birding Man Wildlife Tours. We had an outstanding time and have already booked another trip with them!
Birding Man showed us the beauty of this country, along with over 300 species of birds! We stayed in unbelievable accommodations and met individuals who told us their stories of conservation and love of their country. Highly recommend!
