A Forest in Recovery
Green Hill Wildlife Tours began as a farm. In 2022 it embarked on active forest restoration, returning degraded pasture to functioning rainforest habitat. Today its trails pass through regenerating vegetation layers — pioneer shrubs giving way to maturing trees — creating the mosaic of microhabitats that draws Two-toed and Three-toed Sloths, Baird's Tapir, toucans, and dozens of plant species back to land that was once cleared. Bijagua's position on the flanks of Tenorio Volcano means cloud moisture, rich soils, and year-round green that accelerate forest recovery.
The restoration process has produced a fascinating mix of early-succession plants and returning forest species. Guided botany walks reveal how plant communities rebuild and what each layer contributes to the returning ecosystem.
Because Green Hill's habitats remain green and productive through every season, flagship species including sloths, tapir, and toucans are resident year-round — making any month an excellent time to visit.
Visit Green Hill Wildlife Tours any day of the week and walk the ecosystems we are actively restoring. Contact us to arrange your tour — we are available daily and happy to tailor an experience around birding, herping, botany, or wildlife photography.

A Restored Landscape Full of Life
Green Hill Wildlife Tours sits on a farm that began active forest restoration in 2022. As native trees reclaim the land in Bijagua de Upala, wildlife is returning in kind. The Two-toed Sloth, Three-toed Sloth, Baird's Tapir, Keel-billed Toucan, and Collared Aracari are all regular presences here — not occasional sightings, but species our guides encounter time and again on trails they know intimately. Visiting Green Hill means witnessing conservation in action while meeting the animals that depend on it.
Our guides have spent years learning the rhythms of this specific landscape — which trees the toucans favour, where the tapir drinks, which branches a sloth returns to week after week. That local knowledge is what turns a walk into a genuine wildlife encounter.
Every tour contributes directly to the forest restoration work underway at Green Hill. The species you come to see are thriving here precisely because of that commitment — and your visit helps sustain it.
Birding, herping, night walks, wildlife photography — every tour is a chance to encounter the species that make Green Hill special. Reach out to plan your visit; we're available seven days a week and happy to tailor an experience to your interests.
