Costa Rica is home to more than 50 species of hummingbirds, making it one of the world's premier destinations for hummingbird enthusiasts and wildlife photographers. From the tiny Snowcap and dazzling Fiery-throated Hummingbird to the colorful Violet Sabrewing and the magnificent White-tipped Sicklebill, each region of the country offers its own unique hummingbird specialties.
The photographs featured here were captured during our birdwatching tours and local excursions throughout the year, showcasing the incredible diversity of these remarkable birds in their natural habitats.
Only one species, the Ruby-throated Hummingbird, is migratory, arriving each year from North America during the winter months. The remaining species are resident birds, each adapted to specific ecosystems ranging from tropical lowland rainforests and Caribbean foothills to cloud forests and high-elevation páramo habitats.
Although hummingbirds can be observed year-round, certain seasons provide exceptional opportunities for photography, courtship displays, flowering plants, and peak activity. Our experienced local guides know the best locations and the ideal times to maximize your chances of observing and photographing these extraordinary birds.
