Los Cusingos Bird Sanctuary

In 1941, Dr. Alexander Skutch, a botanist and naturalist, purchased the land that would become Los Cusingos Bird Sanctuary. The farm, which is named after the fiery-billed aracari, inspired Dr. Skutch to write more than 30 books and hundreds of papers on Costa Rica's biodiversity and orinthology.
