Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico, once a Spanish colony and now a U.S. territory and popular holiday destination, provides an easy week-long getaway for the visiting birder. With excellent roads providing convenient access to its many forest reserves, Puerto Rico offers some of the most enjoyable birdwatching in the Caribbean. We’ll look for all the island endemics and the more than two-dozen Caribbean specialties, visiting every habitat from the windswept elfin-woods of Maricao to the bird-rich thorn scrub of the Guanica Dry Forest region.

For those interested in a longer Caribbean adventure, this tour can be combined with the Dominican Republic.
