Reserva Biologica Uyuca

About

Nestled high in the pine-clad mountains of western Honduras lies the lush Reserva Biológica Uyuca. At over 2,000 meters in elevation, Uyuca's cool climate supports a unique diversity of plants and animals found nowhere else. Upon arriving at the biological field station, your senses will be awakened by the songs of hummingbirds darting among native orchids and the mystical calls of hidden birds deep in the forest. Take a gentle hike along one of the numerous trails winding through the reserve to spot toucans perched high in the treetops or elusive mammals stealthily navigating the undergrowth. Long-term bird monitoring projects led by Universidad Zamorano offer a special opportunity to contribute to frontier research on the reserve's rich avifauna. From the mist-netting of colorful migrant songbirds to documenting orchard-visiting hummingbird species, gain insights into the intricate relationships between Central American forests and the feathered travelers that depend on them.
