Local Birdwatchers
Using the Birdingpal resources you must agree to the following: If you contact a local Birdingpal and make arrangement to go birding, you should note it is common courtesy to make sure you show up for the appointment. If for any reason you are unable to do this, the least you must do is contacting the local Pal right away.
Please note that most Birdingpals are serious birdwatchers. It is a privilege to contact them, and your message should reflect it. A local Pal does not get paid, but should he/she offer to take you out birding, using their own vehicle, it would be courteous to pay for the fuel. A lunch and/or a small gift would also be appropriate, something as simple as a souvenir of your country, or a pin from your local birding club.

Available for birding outings during weekends. I live in the San Juan Metro area, right across the bay from the port, in the town of Toa Baja. Most of my birding is done along the best birding sites on the north coast. I am also available for birding the southwest corner of the island, which has some of the most beautiful birding sites. I am heavily involved with Sociedad Ornitologica Puertorriquena, the only local birding club. Specialties: Puerto Rico and Caribbean endemics.

The El Yunque Rainforest Inn is not your typical bed and breakfast. You will enjoy your own villa with two bedrooms, living room, private porches & more. They're like vacation rental homes, and our breakfasts are the best vegetarian breakfasts in Puerto Rico.

Area: El Yunque's Rainforest Inn is only a 45 minute drive from the airport. We are also only 15 minutes from Luquillo Beach. Our location is ideally between San Juan and Fajardo. Very close to El Portal the main entrance of the El Yunque rain forest.
