Description
The Jaguar Private Wildlife Reserve gives national and international tourists the opportunity to observe a great quantity of birds, while hiking within a natural setting and fresh weather that is common to the mountainous area of North Nicaragua.
El Jaguar is situated inside a private farm, owned by the Duriaux Chavarria family, where the couple of Jorge and Lili will personally meet their guests.
Birds are the main focus of investigation at El Jaguar. The reserve was declared an Important Bird Area in 2006 by BirdLife International. Moreover, the area has been also declared a bird sanctuary by its owners.

Therefore, young people participate in nature and bird watching tours.
The best time for bird watching is either early in the morning or late in the afternoon. There are several trails, varying in length from 800 to 1500 meters. The reserve’s entrance fee is US$10, and this includes a guide. The entrance fee is US$10 per person and includes a tour guide.
