AmaTierra is being called a “newly discovered hot spot” for viewing birds of the Pacific slope Woodland area. Since February 2007, more than 65 species of birds have been identified within the 8 acres of AmaTierra Hotel & Retreat.
If you are planning a trip specifically for birdwatching, AmaTierra is a unique stop en route to the Pacific Coast, where you’ll enjoy the remote and peaceful woodland gardens without the usual crowds.
Birdwatch from the dining room balcony over breakfast, or explore the trails with your binoculars.
