"Villa Toucan certainly lives up to it's name - a birder's paradise with close-up views of many of the region's top birds. Both types of toucans, aracari, oropendula, cuckoos, hawks, parrots, flycatchers of all sorts, hummingbirds and much more!"

"I have never seen a toucan in my life and the moment we got here, there were 20 on a tree waiting to welcome us. We even got a free Howler Monkey alarm clock! We saw soooooo much!!!"

TOUCANS

Costa Rica is known for it's colorful bird, the toucan.
At Villa Toucan, you will see 3 kinds of toucans and in very high
numbers. These include the keel billed toucan, the chestnut mandibled
toucan and various toucanitos, a smaller toucan.
Toucans are distinguished by their large and colorful beak - which
they use to break open nuts from trees. They make several different
types of loud calls or songs - that you will quickly recognize as
the call of the toucan.
At Villa Toucan, guests are guaranteed to see up to several
dozen toucans per day. Most toucans, as well as
other birds, are sighted in the early morning and late afternoon
hours or anytime after a rainfall.
In addition to the toucans, this a bird watcher's paradise, where we
promise you won't be disappointed! Common sightings include a range of
hummingbirds, the laughing falcon, nighthawks, cuckoos, owls, vultures,
flycatchers and much more.
As a courteously to our guests, we provide you a set of high powered
binoculars and leading wildlife and bird watching books for reference.
