Watch scarlet macaws with bird guide Fabio and experience their colours on the peaceful fringes of Manuel Antonio.

What you can experience here

You don’t just want to hear scarlet macaws but experience them up close and in the wild? Fabio, your guide, takes you straight to the hotspots around Manuel Antonio and Quepos, far from the main paths. In small groups you see macaws where they actually live – in wooded edge zones where peace and nature prevail.

The morning tour lasts around 1.5 hours and starts after prior arrangement or pick-up. Equipped with a Swarovski spotting scope you watch macaws as they fly in and in their favourite trees. Fabio shares in-depth knowledge about the birds’ habitat, behaviour and reintroduction. As a bonus you receive professional photos and a coffee on the way – so your colourful encounters stay vividly in your memory.
