Wildlife Tours in Central America

Wildlife tours in Central America are high on every birdwatcher’s list. However, they are also fantastic destinations for a wide range of mammals, reptiles and amphibians. And, for the keen botanist, Central America and the Caribbean are places to find an interesting range of exotic plants.

These countries that border the Caribbean Sea also offer many opportunities to explore coral reefs rich in marine animals. Or you can take to the sea for encounters with whales, dolphins and ocean-going birds.

Wildlife tours in Central America are also favourites with wildlife photographers. Perfect light conditions and warm weather make these pleasant locations to spend your days waiting to capture some winning shots. And to help you find your subjects, there are a number of specialist tours available.

Each of the Central American countries is relatively small in area but big in biodiversity. Much ground and many species can be covered even if you only opt for a week’s holiday. Panama, for example, has a record for the highest number of bird species seen in a 24-hour period.

Honduras is a paradise for hummingbirds as well as other exciting species such as Great Horned Owl and Blue-throated Motmot.

In Guatemala, you can go birding in the coffee plantations to find Horned Guan and Long-tail Manakin. And Central America also features important Mayan archaeological sites to add historic interest to your holiday.
