Reiseberatung Mittelamerika, Karibik

In meiner Brust schlägt das Herz einer Latina, denn ich bin in Peru aufgewachsen und habe meine Jugend in Mexiko verbracht. Ein Teil meiner Familie und damit ein Teil meines Herzens lebt bis heute in Peru. Die Geschichte meiner Heimat hat mich von klein auf fasziniert und so bin ich stolz, dass ich in meinem Studium ganz tief in die peruanische Kultur eintauchen konnte. Viele Jahre lang war ich als Reiseleiterin in den Andenländern unterwegs und brenne auch heute noch dafür, meinen Reisegruppen authentische Erlebnisse zu ermöglichen. Vor fast zehn Jahren hat mich mein Lebensweg nach Deutschland geführt, in das Land meiner Großeltern. Mein Latina-Herz schlägt für das Zusammensein mit Familie und Freunden, für Musik und gutes Essen. Gleichzeitig sind es vielleicht meine deutschen Gene, auf denen meine sorgfältige Art beruht. Bei DIAMIR kann ich beides einbringen – Leidenschaft und Erfahrung, aber auch Liebe zum Detail, wenn es darum geht, gut zu beraten und Reisen hervorragend umzusetzen. Mehr

One of our guides will take you to the places where the quetzal feeds on aguacatillos, its favorite fruit. A few seconds of observation of the quetzal is enough to appreciate why it is considered the most beautiful species of the American continent.

Tour starts at 5:15am and ends at approximately 7:30am.

Bird-Watching and Natural History Tour

Bird watching is one of the fastest-growing pastimes with more and more enthusiasts around the world. At Hotel Savegre, you arrive at a place that can offer superlative birding, so much so that San Gerardo de Dota is the only destination in Costa Rica mentioned in the book: Fifty Places to Go Birding Before You Die: Experts Share the World’s Greatest Destinations.

Morning birdsong heralds the start of an unforgettable experience in the cloud forest. During breakfast, the hummingbirds give you an indication of what your excursion will be like.

After meeting your guide at the hotel reception, you set out on your walk. Our bird list has more than 170 species and some are endemic to the zone. Along our trails, you will be able to find the most elusive and hard-to-spot species, real trophies for birders who want to increase their life list.

The tour consists of short walks around the hotel or in our private reserve. Mornings, just after dawn, are the best time for seeing most species

Approximate duration 4 hours.

Exploring the Paramo Forest

This outing is the gateway to discovering Costa Rica’s newest National Park: Los Quetzales N.P. Decreed a National Park in July, 2005, it covers 5000 hectares (12,350 acres) and includes three forest zones and 14 eco-systems. Its objective is to preserve highland forests and protect the water sources found there.

Find your guide at reception and get ready to explore the Continental Divide separating the eco-systems between North and South America.

Upon arrival, you start by searching for endemic bird species as your guide explains the natural history of this unique area.

After a short walk from where you leave the car, you will discover one of the most impressive panoramas you’ll have ever seen … on the right the Talamanca Cordillera and the volcanoes of the Central Volcanic Cordillera, in front of the central Pacific and a bit to the left the southern Pacific leading towards the Valle del General and the Osa Peninsula and behind you, Chirripó, Costa Rica’s highest peak.

Approximate duration 3 hours.

Night Cloud Forest Tour

Discover another side of the cloud forest. Recommended for birders or anyone who wants to experience the forest at night. This tour starts by searching for the Dusky Nightjar in the open ground by the hotel. Then, as the mysterious sounds of the night forest build up after sunset, your guide will help you look for various owl species such as the Bare-shanked Screech-Owl, Mottled Owl and the elusive Unspotted Saw-whet Owl.

Approximate duration 2 hours.

Hiking Tour

One trail, which starts at 3492 meters (11,450 feet) above sea level at the highest point of Buena Vista mountain, leads down through the forest to reach the hotel at 2200 meters (7,220 feet).

On a clear day, it’s possible to see the central and southern Pacific and some of the volcanoes of the Central Cordillera. You feel as if you are looking down on a life-size map.

After exploring and learning about the eco-system at this elevation, the hike starts back for the hotel. At first you are surrounded by sub-Alpine forest where vegetation does not grow higher than a meter. This forest zone is also known as Páramo and is only found on the high ground of the Talamanca Cordillera and in the South American Andes.

As the hike progresses, you can see how the eco-system changes until you are totally immersed in the cloud forest with its huge oaks and perpetually green vegetation … without a doubt, this is a unique experience that will stay with you forever.

Approximately five hours after starting off, the hotel awaits you where you can enjoy a drink at the bar or reward your body with a relaxing massage.
