Best Birding of my life with Tour Guide Berny Sanchez

amanda_l, Jan 2023

Our tour guide Berny Sanchez was so fantastic. He is knowledgeable and has a passion for birding and nature that is truly contagious. I got so many amazing pictures on the hike but unfortunately this site only lets you post ten pics. Observing the tiny Ferruginous Pygmy Owl and the Gartered Trogon were truly life sightings. We also saw a male and female black-throated Trogon and took a video of the male displaying himself to get the females attention which was an amazing site to see. You can see from the pics that we really had an incredible day. At the end of the best birding tour of my life, Berny took us for an authentic Costa Rican meal and I can honestly say it was the most delicious meal I had the entire trip and I did eat at some fantastic places. After the tour, we booked Berny for a private tour of Manuel Antonio. When you are with Berny, you really feel like you are with the best and you will get too see the most during your time with him. Definitely request him if you can.
