CERRO
HOYA BIRD WATCHING TOUR
The National Park Cerro
Hoya, just 50 km down the road from us, is home to three of the
endemics: Brown-backed Dove (Leptoptila battyi) Azuero Parakeet
(Pyrrhura eisenmanni), Veraguan Mango (Anthracothorax veraguensis),
but also to other rare birds like the Great Green Macaw (Ara ambiguus),
Black-and-White Hawk-Eagle (Spizaetus melanoleucus) and the orange-collared
Manakin (Manacus aurantiacus), the King Vulture (Sarcoramphus
papa) and a host of other bird species.
The best time to visit
the Cerro Hoya NP is from January to July. The Great Green Macaws
and the Black-and-White Hawk-Eagle nest from January to March;
the Azuero Prakeet is usually seen from late April to early July.
Cerro Hoya has almost no infrastructure, but we work with a guide
who knows the park very well and is very good at finding birds
(and other wildlife). We organise a trip to Cerro Hoya in search
of the Azuero Parakeet, the Brown-backed Dove and many others
birds.
