| Of the 19 endemic bird species in Puerto Rico, 16 of those species are found in El Yunque, although some of them are rare in the Forest (Euphonia, Elfin-woods Warbler, and Adelaide´s Warbler). There are three wild population of our beloved Parrot, one of them at El Yunque with approximately 80 wild Parrot. What we offer? Upland covers the PR-191 North Recreational Corridor from La Coca Falls to the gate at the end of the road while in the lowlands and edge of the Forest we go birding lower in the Forest. If you are looking for the Puerto Rican Emerald, Green Mango, Elfin-woods Warbler, Bullfinch, Spindalis, and Tanager, you should book the upland option. If you don´t have too much time to explore the Forest, then book the lowlands with similar opportunities to find most of these birds. At the end of the booking process, you will be asked to book add-on extra hours to your birding trip to look for specific birds: (1) Amazon, (2) Lizard Cuckoo, (3) Owl. A full-day option is also available. |

Fabulous Birding Tours!!
Review of AdvenTours Puerto Rico
Reviewed May 25, 2024 via mobile
Hilda was amazing!! She catered our two tours to our son’s
interests and both adults and our 10 year old son loved it. We
took the Birding 101 class and the Luquillo Half day tour. We
saw ~20 different birds; several only found in Puerto Rico. My
husband and I were surprised how much we all enjoyed these
outings. Hilda is so knowledgeable and passionate. She really
gets you excited about birding and we were surprised how
much we learned in such a short amount of time. I would highly
recommend this company and will use again in future trips.

Q & A
Q: I am a solo traveler can I book a birding trip with you?
A: Due to the high volume of birders booking El Yunque from November through February,
some of our birding trips are offered as a Special Shared Event. The minimum required
to offer these bird outings is 2 birders. Once the minimum is reached, we open the date as
a Special Shared Event which makes it easier for solo travelers to join other birders.
What will happen when is the solo traveler who opens the date for other birders to join and
there is no other booking for that date? Solo travelers opening a Special Shared Event
will be charged the minimum of participants required to offer a trip is that minimum is not
reached. Deposits and/or payments are non-refundable.
Q: Can I open a Special Shared Event if I am staying in Rincón and want to go to
Maricao?
A: Special Shared Events are only available for the following birding trips: Half-day
Luquillo, Half-day El Yunque (upland or lowlands), In Search of the Mucarito. All of these
trips require a minimum of 2 participants. A trip to Maricao from Rincón will be considered
private. Private birding trips are not available to be openen as a Special Shared Event.
Q: I am a solo traveler and want to take pictures of birds, can I join a Special Shared
Event?
A: Regular bird outings and Special Shared Events are not considered bird photography
trips. Many birders are complaining that birders with a camera delay the birding in order to
take their pictures. If you want to take your best shots, consider booking a private bird
photography trip. Nevertheless, we have an all-inclusive birding package for bird
photographers.
