Colibrí Quest
Half day
The original birding quest looking for the five hummingbirds nesting in our
territory in a short period of time. This route includes five hummingbirds and
two opposite forest zones: a tropical rain forest and a subtropical dry forest.
At El Yunque we will be looking for our two endemic species: Emerald
and Green Mango. Then we go to the eastern tip of the island for the
Antillean Mango, Green-throated Caribe, and the Antillean Crested
Hummingbird.

Every year, and before the high season starts, we go birding on a daily basis looking for new routes and new
birds. We are happy to inform that we have signed a contract to start offering birding trips and other tours at
the old Roosevelt Roads Naval Station in Ceiba as part of the efforts of the Government to redevelop the area
sponsoring local small business. Our proposal includes an environmental education component, which is also
part of our corporate social responsibility. This option started in October 1, 2014. A portion of your payment
will go to an Annual Fund for our environmental education program (Proyecto Mucarito).
With very rare, but not impossible, sightings of the Puerto Rican Nightjar, Ceiba is a little jewel where you can
also find several endemic species: our unique Yellow-shouldered Black Bird, Oriole, Tody, Woodpecker,
Flycatcher, Lizard Cuckoo, Adelaide´s Warbler, and Spindalis; plus other Antillean and Caribbean specialties,
such as the Green-throated Carib, Antillean Crested Hummingbird, Caribbean Elaenia, Caribbean Coot, and
Pearly-eyed Thrasher.

| It was in this region, that we found the once considered extirpated from Puerto Rico: Limpkin. After this finding, the bird has been spotted in other areas of the mainland. Lately, we have identified a group of juvenile Yellow-shouldered Black Bird, a critically endangered endemic species. |
| Slow mobility birders are welcome! |
If you are planning to stay in San Juan, it takes less than one our
drive to start birding. You can skip the traffic and book one of the
small hotels and inns in the region and enjoy more hours of birding
with us without going back to the metropolitan area, or just book
one of our all-inclusive birding packages. The advantage of birding
in this side of Puerto Rico is that you spend less time on the road,
henceforth, you have more time for birding. Now, you will be able
to visit a rain forest and in less than 30 minutes, you are in a dry
coastal forest. Need transportation? Transfers are available, please
ask for price.
