Surrounded by the turquoise Caribbean Sea, Puerto Rico is a rugged and mountainous island containing a wide variety of bird-rich habitats. Host to 17 endemics and numerous Greater Antillean and Caribbean restricted species, Puerto Rico has surprisingly been forgotten amongst its more illustrious neighbours - Cuba, Jamaica and Hispaniola. While the many endemics and near-endemics are the priority, the island also plays host to a number of wintering North American passerines. From the capital, San Juan, we will work our way through the northern coastline, cool slopes of Maricao and the dry forests of the south west. Our tour takes in the major habitats, offering us an excellent chance of seeing almost all the island’s endemics.
