About this experience

Partiendo desde Kalpitiya en una caminata privada de cinco horas para observar aves a través del Santuario de Anawilundawa — uno de solo seis Humedales RAMSAR en Sri Lanka. Ubicado entre la costa y la línea ferroviaria Chilaw–Puttalam en la Provincia Noroeste, el santuario se encuentra en el punto de confluencia de tres ecosistemas distintos: costa abierta, bosque de manglares y tanques de agua dulce. Esa rara combinación atrae a cientos de especies de aves para anidar y reproducirse aquí durante todo el año, lo que lo convierte en uno de los lugares más gratificantes de la isla para observadores de aves de cualquier nivel.

Tu guía experto dirige la caminata, señalando especies y compartiendo información sobre el hábitat de humedales mientras exploras. El traslado hacia y desde Kalpitiya es en vehículo con aire acondicionado, y los boletos de entrada están incluidos en el precio. Se aceptan niños a partir de cinco años. Las propinas y la comida y bebida no están incluidas, así que trae un almuerzo empacado y mucha agua para el camino.
