Private Urban Forest Birding Tour in San Salvador
Explore a regenerated urban forest in San Salvador with biologist, photographer and private birding guide Rodolfo Walsh on a four-hour outing for up to four guests.
About this tour
Discover how much birdlife survives within metropolitan San Salvador on a private outing led by Rodolfo Walsh, a biologist and professional photographer. The selected national park protects regenerated subtropical humid forest on a former shade-coffee site, with mostly flat trails that suit birders who prefer gentler walking.
The habitat supports a varied urban-forest community. Possible birds include Yellow-naped and White-fronted Amazons, Pacific Parakeet, Gartered Trogon, Turquoise-browed Motmot, White-bellied Chachalaca and a range of flycatchers, woodcreepers, wrens and raptors. Rodolfo can also offer practical photography guidance during the field session.
The published base price is USD 80 for one birder; the official rate adds USD 25 for each additional birder. Hotel pickup within San Salvador, park entrance and binocular use are included, while meals are not. Final availability and the exact pickup time are confirmed through BirdWatch.info. All sightings involve wild birds and remain uncertain.
