Birding tours in Puerto RicoThe major interest of birding trips to the West Indies resides in the islands endemic species and Caribbean specialties, but we will surely not overlook, at least during the migration seasons, the important number of migrants passing through or wintering. Puerto Rico (8960 sq km) is a very popular destination for birdwatchers as it is possible to see all the island endemics species in a short time period thanks to the excellent road network. Coastal plain plains surround almost the whole island, the center of which is a rugged landscape. The highest point of Puerto Rico reaches 1338m. The natural habitats found on the island are essentially forests of three different types: deciduous, semi-evergreen and evergreen rain forests. Elfin woods occurs at high altitude. Thorn scrubs are found in the South-West. Coastal habitats range from mangrove-lined mudflats, saline lagoons, beaches and cliffs. Frequent flights between Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic allow to visit both islands on a 16 days trip.
