Hummingbirds are among my favorite birds, they look like small flying jewelry, don't you agree? Come to Costa Rica and you will see a big variety of them.

Female golden-browed chlorophonia with a wild cherry. Where's the golden brow you ask? Check out my nearby photo of the male!
Nights can be very rewarding during the rainy season in the central mountains of Costa Rica, if you van tolerate a little bit of cold weather.

It is really rural and quiet but there isn’t much to do besides hiking and nature.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

San Gerardo de Dota in particular is a place for those who love the quiet, nature, walking or bird watching. Even though I am not a bird watcher, I love the place for its tranquility and beautiful nature.

5/5 - Excellent

Great place to move out of daily base business and urgencies. Safe community, with friendly people. Easy to coordinate outdoors activities: ride horses, Mountain bike, etc.
