Those interested in wildlife and tropical bird watching will discover a rich diversity across two locations in the Bahía Chahue and Tangolunda areas. From the jungle to the beach, you'll be amazed by the diversity in the ecosystem.
Near Bahía Chahue, the jungle blends seamlessly with human influence and a wealth of forest flora and fauna co-exists here, as well as urban birds. Discover unspoiled, low-growth jungle, including cedar, mahogany, ficus, mocambos and almond. You will likely spy several of the region's 227 bird species, including orioles, woodpeckers, egrets, seagulls, falcons, sparrow hawks, parrots and eight varieties of hummingbird. Keep an eye out for lizards, iguanas, deer, armadillos and squirrels.
At Playa Tangolunda, the varied fringe of two ecosystems makes for an ideal spot for watching jungle and aquatic birds from the same location. Enjoy a beverage while you take some great photos.
