Overview

A relatively small country in the Central America (just north of Panama) with about 800 species of birds on the checklist. This is a country with a relatively well developed tourist industry including some well developed bird lodges, but most of the bird life can be seen by utilizing budget options (see link near the bottom of this page).

Access and Facilities

Costa Rica is served by two international airports with connections from North America, San Jose (the capital in the central valley) and Liberia which is located more northerly in the country. Being a relatively small country, driving around one should be able to reach most of the country from either airport.
