Great Green Macaw in Costa RicaThis time of year, Maquenque Eco-lodge is the place to be for bird-watching in Costa Rica. It is bird migration season from North America to tropical countries like Costa Rica. It is also the time when endangered Great Green Macaws (Ara ambiguus) return to Maquenque from Nicaragua’s Indio Maiz Biological Reserve to the north.

The Costa Rica eco-lodge is located on the San Carlos River by the Maquenque National Wildlife Refuge, 15 kilometers from the Nicaraguan border. Activities at Maquenque Eco-lodge include canoeing on the lagoon, hiking in the rainforest, horseback riding, float river rafting and boating. Eight kilometers of trails wind through the lodge’s 68-acre property, through the forest past ponds and streams.
