This remarkable biodiversity is a testament to the country’s diverse ecosystems\, ranging from cloud forests and rainforests to coastal wetlands and high-altitude paramo regions. \nPalomar Audubon Society\, in collaboration with Crescentia Expeditions\, invites you on an exciting fundraising birding trip to explore Northern Costa Rica’s rich avian diversity. Witness spectacular birds\, breathtaking landscapes\, and immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and history of this beautiful country. Your participation supports PAS projects and two local conservation groups.
