Honduras, one of Central America’s best-kept birding and wildlife secrets. A biodiversity hotspot, it supports more than 700 bird species and various habitats including over 30 separate cloud forests. We will first take some time to explore one of the most remarkable eco-lodges on the planet: Pico Bonito! The bird list will be as impressive as the grounds and cuisine, where we can expect to find such gems as Keel-billed and Tody Motmots, Keel-billed Toucan, Lovely Cotinga, Chestnut-colored Woodpecker, Red-capped Manakin, White Hawk, King Vulture, Black-and-white Owl, and too many other fantastic species to list here! We shall also visit the Honduran Emerald Reserve in the Aguan Valley for one of the only true endemics to the region, the glittering little hummer after which the reserve is named.
The awesome birdlife is further augmented by the ease of travel, standard of lodge, super-friendly people and fine cuisine, making this a thoroughly enjoyable birding adventure for both hardcore and casual birders alike!

Mostly easy. Suitable for most birding / wildlife interest levels. Some early mornings & optional day trails.
Very comfortable.
Mostly easy, a few trickier forest species. Garden & lodge birding typically provides good visuals of many species.
One of the world's best eco-lodges, excellent for butterflies and moths, great food
Good. Good feeders around the lodge. Photography more difficult within closed forest canopy.
This was a great tour, even better than the itinerary described, with a few surprise activities. I really enjoyed Alexander and felt I learned a lot about the birds and Honduras while with him.
