Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to visit Cabinas Ramirez for the best wildlife experiences?

We find the dry season, from December to April, offers the most reliable weather for exploring Refugio de Vida Silvestre Portalón, making wildlife spotting easier.

What specific wildlife should we look out for when staying at Cabinas Ramirez and visiting Refugio de Vida Silvestre Portalón?

Beyond the usual howler monkeys and sloths, we highly recommend keeping an eye out for the vibrant toucans and various species of hummingbirds right on the property. Inside Portalón, we've had fantastic sightings of capuchin monkeys and even the elusive anteater, especially during early morning walks.
